a memoir of ballet & Broadway
From the stifling world of suburbia in the 1950's to grand, historic dance theaters and the bright lights of the Broadway stage, this is the story of ballerina, Lee Wilson. She dared to dream she could grow up to be a star, and in 1962, fresh out of high school and only sixteen years old, she left her home and country to make a five-day journey across the Atlantic. Eight months later she made her professional dance debut in Monte Carlo at a command performance for Prince Rainer and Princess Grace.
