After breaking her ankle, Marta has nothing left in Billings except maybe her friends, but she decides to go back home and restart her career. While she works to keep rent, it seems that her mom has moved on from her leaving; she has a boyfriend and she was using Marta's room as an office. Marta works a variety of jobs to keep going: some at the local theater and some at Mrs. Holland's dance studio where she practically grew up. Her theater job leaves her in the company of a young man named Dennis. After Steve sees her with him, will their relationship recover? Will she be able to continue her dream as a professional ballet performer? Can she continue her friendships from so far away?

Opinion: 

This book was much like the first one. Very good but with some missing plot elements. I loved the intrigue and suspense that was put into Marta's future as a dancer and with her relationships. I felt that the characters were very well built and that they followed their respective roles. The details in the book made them come alive on the page, and I could visualize them very clearly. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting a nice read that will leave them feeling inspired to chase their own dreams.
