She’s instantly catapulted into celebrity, heralded for her zinspirationaly role as the first Black ballerina in the famed company’s history. Even as she celebrates the achievement of a lifelong dream, Cece remains haunted by the feeling that she doesn’t belong. As she waits for some feeling of rightness that doesn’t arrive, she begins to unravel the loose threads of her past—an absent father, a pragmatic mother who dismisses Cece’s ambitions, and a missing older brother who stoked her childhood love of ballet but disappeared to deal with his own demons. Soon after her promotion, Cece is faced with a choice that has the potential to derail her career and shatter the life she's cultivated for herself, sending her on a pilgrimage to both find her brother and reclaim the parts of herself lost in the grinding machinery of the traditional ballet world. 650 0 $a Ballet dancers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Belonging (Social psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Sports fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 21 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011312.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020420.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025525.0 952 $l CCPB522 $d 20231018010529.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20231003011359.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20230929011617.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230915010451.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230908010401.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230818014513.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230816011107.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230804010130.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012836.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011630.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230706012756.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010423.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012413.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015409.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011043.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230607010058.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230603011449.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2B7A08601D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
