Last Dance
A girl’s dream of a ballet career is disrupted by a frightening diagnosis in this novel by the national bestselling author of Don’t Die, My Love . . .
At age thirteen, after years of lessons and practice, Rachel Deering is already a highly skilled dancer who shows great promise—and she’s staying on her toes because her dream is to become a world-class professional ballerina. But just as she’s preparing for an important audition for an opening with a prestigious dance troupe, Rachel starts having some very disturbing symptoms.
After collapsing in ballet class, she undergoes a series of tests and her doctor tells her the news: She has Type 1 diabetes. Now her world consists of twice-a-day insulin shots, a carefully controlled diet, and constant fear that she will have a reaction and end up unable to dance—or worse. And through it all, she can’t help wondering why life is so unfair . . .
