Wonderful book about the training, fears, doubts and the life of an elite ballerina. Ballet is such an elegant endevour and one can't help but admire the stamina, the raw want that goes into making a dancer successful. This book shows us Gavin's path from her beginning lessons to her wresting of a successful career. A mind and body struggle that is continually fighting for excellence. An honest and admirable telling, highlighting not only her dancing, but the ballets she danced, the theaters where she danced, her injuries and the people she met along the way.

Many of her ballets are on YouTube and I watched several. Just beautiful.

ARC from Edelweiss.
