Perfect for young readers ready to step into the world of novels, this mini-novel is just right for beginners: short, heartfelt, and easy to follow, with a story that pulls you in. Grace has always known she was different. While other kids chase basketballs and video games, she chases ballet. Hard. Precise. All-consuming ballet. Her tiny bedroom is filled with worn-out pointe shoes and scribbled affirmations. But outside that door is a life most people would not survive. A house that barely holds heat. A mother who barely holds it together. A father who works all night and still cannot pay the bills. A brother who resents everything the family stands for. And a little brother who notices more than he should.
When Grace earns an invitation to audition for a prestigious ballet program, it should be a dream come true. But the opportunity shines a spotlight on everything the family tries to keep in the dark. Jealousy. Guilt. Fear. Their fragile balance begins to crack as sacrifices are made and secrets start to unravel.
Grace wants to dance. She wants to make it. But how far can you chase a dream when everyone you love is at risk of being left behind?
