Taking Flight: From War Orphan to Star Ballerina by Michaela DePrince

5.0

Strong Black woman shares her experiences with growing up an orphan, finding a loving home in the states, overcoming obstacles, and becoming an amazing ballerina. I loved the positive role model and the positive messages shared through the book. Overall great, though often tough, read. I know nothing about ballet and was still able to understand everything that was happening. Highly recommend for everyone but especially for young people, adopted folks, or anyone interest in ballet and life stories.
