Nonfiction: memoir of a modern African American ballerina with the American Ballet Theatre.
Either Misty or Charisse has a very personable "voice" for this memoir of a young girl who discovered her true calling in ballet. The story flows well, her love of dance and movement is clear, as is her love of her family and friends. The latter is especially evident in the care taken in describing flawed or abusive relatives.
Not much insight into the world of ballet, but lots of insight into this one woman's life as she grows and matures.
