Jan Hurst
Jan Hurst, an early baby boomer born into an Air Force family in Missouri, was encouraged to accept the feminine boundaries to become a wife, mother, teacher, nurse or secretary. After her younger daughter started school, Jan’s challenge to go to work or to school faced hurdles with her husband Steve’s Air Force career, which often moved the family. The first college graduate in her family, she earned a BA, MBA and PhD in business management. Jan became a programmer before women were widely accepted in technology, leading to a 30-year career managing IT teams. After Steve was killed in an auto accident, Jan wrote their story in the romance novel, His Sunrise My Sunset. The book inspired the 2019 movie Sunrise in Heaven starring Corbin Bernsen. Sunrise in Heaven recounts the real-life tale of Jan and Steve Hurst, beginning with their young romance in the 1960s, then integrates significant events that changed their lives more than 40 years later. https://author-jan-hurst.blogspot.com
