Jan Kerouac
Jan Kerouac was Jack Kerouac's only child. She was born on February 16, 1952 in Albany, New York. Jack had nothing to do with Jan's upbringing and she was raised by her mother Joan Haverty, mostly in New York City and in the American northwest, along with her half-brother David Bowers.
Beginning in her turbulent teenage years, Jan was frequently on the road. She was an adventurer, making frequent trips to Mexico, Central and South America. It was around this time that she met John Cassady, Neal Cassady's son, who proposed to her.
Like her father, she possessed a vivid imagination and memory and a love of words. She recounted many of the experiences in her dramatic and exciting life in two novels, "Baby Driver" and "Trainsong."
And so time passes, passes by, passes over, passes away and through and pass the butter please. Sometimes time passes by so fast...you can't even see those seconds make their little streaks of reentry into your heart.
