Hope in a Ballet Shoe: Orphaned by war, saved by ballet: an extraordinary true story by Elaine DePrince, Michaela DePrince

5.0

Inspirational. Simply told and truly magical - a real life fairytale. I can't comprehend the horrors at the beginning of this book as it's so far removed from the world I am familiar with but it certainly makes me believe in destiny. This book deserves a movie. I'd recommend it even if you are not a ballet fan and I'd encourage younger girls to read this too. Made me cry on the rube several times - mostly in disbelief and happiness!
