Ballerina

Jennifer is a teenage dancer with dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. A severely malnourished teenage girl, she reveals for the first time how she suffered years of sexual, physical, and mental abuse at the hands of her father. When she was eight years old, she lost her mother. Her childhood almost took her down the same path of self-destruction as her charismatic but predatory father, who molested and abused where when she was only thirteen years old. Graphic and catastrophic, this novel based on a true story actually happened here in America, and almost nobody knows about it.
