Letters to Follow

A Dancer's Adventure

Beschreibung

Lynne struggles to find her place in the world of professional ballet while her own world is turning upside down. Dance, the central character, enters the stage with a tour jeté and then pirouette's gracefully through the life of Lynne Meadows. Her story is reminiscent of the main character, which heralds the life of Frankie in Mitch Albom's The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto. This third book in the series glides into Lynne's world with backward glances at the fortunes and falls that bring her to the commencement of an exciting and grueling adventure as a member of a dance troupe traveling in Europe during the summer of 1959. If dance is the mode, communiqués become the medium, Lynne dashes off her impressions in letters and post cards between performance venues to provide a tantalizing peek into a past European summer. Letters to Follow is the third book in The Ballet Series

Autor

Paddy Eger is the multi-award-winning author of a four part ballet series: 84 Ribbons, When the Music Stops, Letters to Follow, and Act 4.

Through a combination of research and imagination, she recreates the story of brutal prison life, sharing glimpses into the deprivation and hard labor faced by inmates sent there in the 1850s.Non-fiction is another interest Paddy shares with people who work with students. Her Educating America book and materials share easy-to-use ideas to involve students as well as classroom assistants.In her free time, Paddy writes in other genres, reads, helps in classrooms, and travels. She and her family live in western Washington, but consider the world their home base.
