&quotPicure a ballerina in a tutu and toe shoes. What does
she look like?&quotAs the only African-American soloist
dancing with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre, Misty
Copeland has made history. But when she first placed her
hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no
one expected the undersized, anxious 13-year-old to become
a ground&#173breking ballerina. When she discovered ballet,
Misty was living in a shabby motel room, struggling with her
five siblings for a place to sleep on the floor. A true prodigy,
she was dancing en pointe within three months of taking her
first dance class and performing professionally in just over a
year: A feat unheard of for any classical dancer. But when
Misty became caught between the control and comfort she
found in the world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own
life (culminating in a highly publicized custody battle), she had
to choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and
find the courage to be one of a kind. With an insider's unique
point of view, Misty opens a window into the life of a
professional ballerina who lives life center stage: From behind

the scenes at her first auditions to her triumphant roles in
some of the most iconic ballets. But in this beautifully written
memoir, she also delves deeper to reveal the desire and drive
that made her dreams reality. Life in Motion is a story of
passion and grace for anyone who has dared to dream of a
different life.
