84 Ribbons

A young dancer realizes her life long dream, if only for a while.


At seventeen, Marta Selbryth leaves home for the first time to pursue her life-long dream: dancing with a professional ballet company.
But no dream is ever easy. As soon as Marta steps off the bus in Billings, Montana, she discovers that her years of training have taught her to dance, but not to meet the relentless rigors of professional ballet-or of life on her own.
Step into Marta's world of thrilling stage lights and dark, silent shadows, where dancers push themselves beyond their limits to be the best. Where a jaded ballet mistress can destroy dancers' spirits. And where dancers will sacrifice their health, their love, and even their lives to keep dancing.
Success in this world is bought at a price far higher than training and dreams. It is a price Marta may not be able to afford. But not paying it may cost her even more.


84 Ribbons is the first book in The Ballet Series.
