It&#8217;s interesting seeing the changing mores of family life during those years, as well as the grueling life of a dance performer. The author opens up the dancer&#8217;s life through back and forth visits from 1956 and present day (1992). It has a most satisfying ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>This title is available at Tyler Free Library. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/62588481.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15866\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A thrilling story about the dreams and drive of one woman&#8217;s journey in the mid to late 1900s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_piecal_is_recurring":false,"_piecal_recurring_interval":1,"_piecal_recurring_frequency":"","_piecal_recurring_exact_position":false,"_piecal_recurring_end":"","_piecal_color":"","_piecal_text_color":"","_piecal_global_color_master":false,"_piecal_rsets":"[]","_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[14,17,27],"class_list":["post-13876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-staff-recs","tag-adult","tag-cathy-recs","tag-historical-fiction"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13876\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
