Determination meets dance in this prizewinning and New York Times
bestselling memoir by the history-making ballerina Misty Copeland,
vividly recounting the story of her journey to become the first
African American female principal ballerina at the prestigious
American Ballet Theatre. When she first placed her hands on the
barre at an after-school community center, no one expected
thirteen-year-old Misty Copeland to become one of America's most
groundbreaking dancers. A true prodigy, she was attempting in
months roles that take most dancers years to master. But when Misty
became caught between the control and comfort she found in the
world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life, she had to
choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the
courage to be one of a kind. With an insider's passion, Misty opens
a window into the life of an artist who lives life center stage,
from behind the scenes at her first classes to her triumphant roles
in some of the world's most iconic ballets. A sensational memoir as
"sensitive" and "clear-eyed" (The Washington Post) as her dancing,
Life in Motion is a story of passion, identity, and grace for
anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.
