How I Grew Up is Book One in "The Carousel Trilogy," stories of three friends whose lives were changed by one event when they were high school students."You'll Never Walk Alone." The words from that song in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel held an especially poignant meaning for Melanie Stewart, who went on stage in the leading role of Julie Jordan mere weeks after her parents were victims of a senseless murder, perpetrated by her own sister's troubled husband. She was just eighteen, a high school senior who dreamed of Hollywood stardom and her first real kiss. With the support of her two older sisters, who had problems of their own to deal with in the lingering aftermath of the horror, and her good friends, Mel auditioned for her high school's spring musical the week after her parent's funeral. Rehearsals for the production began almost immediately. In the weeks leading up to the performance, Melanie learning she was stronger than she knew and being involved in the show helped her begin to heal. The story takes place in small-town America in the nineteen fifties.

After growing up in the unique town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Susan Moore Jordan attended the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati as a vocal performance major. She also served on the administrative staff of the Edgecliff Academy of Fine Arts and The Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival. In 1971 she moved with her late husband, a tenor, and three young children to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Several years later she established a private voice studio that has sent its students on to leading schools of music and opera or musical theater companies around the world. In 1984 Jordan began directing musical productions for community and high school theater and directed over eighty shows. In October 2013, she published her first novel, now Book I of "The Carousel Trilogy," How I Grew Up. It was followed by Eli's Heart in June, 2014, and You Are My Song in January, 2015. All of her novels are drawn from her life experiences as a voice teacher and stage director and are inspired by real people she has encountered.
