Reviews

"[An] Absorbing, intimate. . . . [and] valuable memoir."-- "Keene Sentinel"
"At once a self-portrait, a character study of Boston, and an intimate, inside look at the art of ballet. . . . In this book, with candor and grace, Young allows us to enter the real-life world behind the one on stage."-- "Boston Globe"
"There is a compelling story here to tell, an informative story here to tell, and an astute and practical take on a dancer's life that is a must read for those involved in the dance world. "-- "NewsNotes Dance Blog"
