“A beautiful integration of art, religion, compassion, and connection.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
When you are driven by passion, nothing can get in your way.
Veda is a prize-winning dancer, considered a prodigy in the fine art of traditional Indian Bharatanatyam. Then she is injured in a bus accident, and her right leg must be amputated below the knee. For a girl who’s grown used to receiving applause for her dance prowess, adjusting to a prosthetic leg is painful and humbling. Her dance teacher does not believe she will ever dance again.
But Veda is too passionate to abandon her dream and finds a new teacher who shares her hope. And though she must relearn even the most basic of steps, his faith in her allows her to reclaim the art form that has brought her so much joy.
Told through lyrical, evocative verse, this is a powerful novel of loss, recovery, and the resilience of the human spirit.

“Venkatraman has created a rich, exotic, and fully human world that dazzles and delights. Her way with prose reflects Veda's with dancing: 'Nothing else fills me with as much elation as chasing down soaring music' This novel accomplishes exactly that.”—Providence Sunday Journal
