Kendra Sutton lives for ballet and the Manhattan Dance Company—until her father's layoff forces a move to rural Napa Valley. Cut off from her elite training and best friends, she finds an unexpected home at a vineyard ballet school, helps her autistic brother come alive through dance, and faces a frightening diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. As a make-or-break audition looms, Kendra learns that strength, identity, and calling can take shape in ways she never imagined.

  • A ballerina's dream collides with a life-changing MS diagnosis—can she still dance?
  • Dance becomes the language that finally reaches her nonverbal autistic brother.
  • From Lincoln Center to a vineyard ballet school: a fish-out-of-water story with heart.
  • Clean, emotional YA about discovering that you are more than your one big dream.
“Endure! Resist! Achieve!”

Perfect for a tween or teen girl who loves ballet or dance and enjoys emotional coming-of-age stories about overcoming hardship.
