Description
Penelope Sparrow, a 28-year-old dancer, has spent her entire life perfecting her body to meet directors' crushing expectations. But when she wakes up in a Philadelphia hospital unable to move, she can’t even remember the events leading up to the accident: a near-fatal fall down 14 stories. With a second chance at life, Penny must come to terms with a body that has betrayed her, as she tries to discover what happened that night.
Written by a former dancer, this is a masterful portrayal of a young woman trying to understand her own past and begin again, beautifully expressing the language of dance and broken dreams.
Advance Praise
“Unfolds with grace and truth…refreshing and piercingly honest.” --Kelly Simmons, author of Standing Still and The Bird House
“Kathryn Craft is deeply knowledgeable about the demands of dance, but her story transcends the art form’s insular world. The Art of Falling is a story of friendship and personal growth, and a helluva good read.” --Elizabeth Zimmer, dance critic, Metro New York
