Molly Arnette is very good at keeping secrets. She lives in San Diego with a husband she adores, and they are trying to adopt a baby because they can't have a child on their own. But the process of adoption brings to light many questions about Molly's past and her family—the family she left behind in North Carolina twenty years before.

Misty Copeland has probably thought she was dancing on her own at times. I loved her book and think she‘s a great role model. #DancingOnMyOwn #AMonthofSongs
One thing I am loving about co-hosting #amonthofsongs is finding out about books I didn‘t know existed, either by trying to find books to fit the prompt or from seeing y‘alls awesome posts. This one is a Pride and Prejudice retelling set in the world of ballet! Yes, please! Also, I had to give a shout out to the movie Center Stage, one of my guilty pleasures! #dontjudgeme

Grace, Helen, and Ruby meet by chance at the exclusive and glamorous Forbidden City Nightclub in San Francisco. They become best friends dancing and hiding dark secrets right before American involvement in WW11.... This was my first Lisa See book and I‘ll be reading many more!!

so-so#AMonthOfSongs Day 10: Clayton “Peg Leg” Bates felt like he was #DancingOnMyOwn when he had an unfortunate accident that forever changed Clayton‘s life, but not his disposition, nor his optimistic self. He taught himself to use crutches that were fashioned from two broomsticks when he lost his leg. Soon, he was able to dance again. A remarkable and inspiring story. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-eJE
I‘ve gushed about this before, I absolutely loved the film and the tagged book is the novel based on the film. A coming-of-age story about gender, class, and dancing. And how expressing yourself through dance can set you free. Billy's father has signed him up for boxing classes, but Billy likes dancing and eventually starts taking ballet lessons in secret, the only boy in the class.
