About the Author:

At just two years old, Jeanette Longoria decided that her passion in life was to dance, whirling and twirling in the midst of music and beauty. We can only dream of dancing at Julliard to the music that we hear in our hearts. However, that did not happen for Jeanette. Instead, she has spent the last sixty years creating her own musical dance in life. Married to two powerful men, Morris Jaffe and 'Chito' Longoria, Jeanette began drafting her feelings of the song she had in hear heart by giving birth to seven children, six wonderful children with Morris Jaffe and once child with Chito Longoria. Along with raising children, Jeanette has entertained and been entertained all over the world.

In her book, Aphrodite And Me: Discover Beauty And Romance At Any Age, Jeanette Longoria passes on some of the secrets that she learned from this famous mythical character. These are secrets that she feels comfortable sharing because she believes, as do many others, that Aphrodite was not a myth at all, but a wonderful, loving person. Empires have a way of reducing intelligent, beautiful women to nothing more than art figures or mythical characters, Jeanette claims, but the beauty of love is ethereal and timeless. Inspired by the free spirit and mystery of the exquisite Aphrodite, as well as by the passion of many great women before her, Jeanette Lo
