performing arts related
Book Description:
Alice
thinks she’s accepted the loss of her ballet career, injury having forced her
to trade in pointe shoes onstage for spreadsheets upstairs. That is, until the
day Alice's boss asks her to befriend Lana, a pretty new company member he’s
got his eye on. Lana represents all Alice has lost, not just as a ballet
dancer, but as a motherless daughter. It’s pain she’s kept hidden, even from
herself, as every good ballet dancer knows to do.
Lana,
lonely and unmoored, desperately needs some help, and her mother, back home,
vows eternal support. But when Lana begins to profit from Alice’s advice and
help, her mother’s constant attention curdles into something more sinister.
Together,
both women must embark on a journey of painful rediscoveries, not just about
career opportunities won and lost, but the mothers they thought they knew.
OFF
BALANCE takes the reader beyond the glitter of the stage to expose the sweat
and struggle, amid the mandate to sustain the illusion at all cost.
