"An emotional story about a former ballerina who is thrust back into 'normal' high school after a life-changing injury, and who comes to terms with life without her passion as well as discrimination in the ballet world"-- A terrifying fall shatters Alina Keeler's leg-- and her dreams of a professional ballet career along with it. After a summer healing, she is forced to trade her pre-professional dance classes for normal high school, where she reluctantly joins the school musical. Rehearsals offer more than she expected-- namely Jude, a castmate she just might be falling for. To move forward, Alina must make peace with her past and face the racism she experienced in the dance industry. And as broken as she feels, can she open her heart to someone else? -- adapted from jacket
