I read this book as a teenager when I was taking dance lessons--it presents the life of a "ballerina" in a harshly realistic light, from body image to celebrity status to the physical demands of rehearsal and performance. Kirkland's relationsips with Ballanchine and Barishnikov are highlighted in this moving autobiography. A must for any serious dancer, young or old!
