review 1: Veda (16) is a gifted dancer who has just won a prestigious award at a top competition. On the van ride back to her home, the driver gets into an accident which leaves Veda with an amputated leg from the knee down. Veda struggles to adapt with only one complete leg, but is bound and determined to dance again. An American doctor believes in her and develops a top of the line prosthetic leg. Her original dance coach lost faith in Veda so she must start over with dance coach Govinda. A verse novel about love, loss, Hindu faith, and overcoming obstacles. This is a similar book to Running Dream with a setting in India.
review 2: This is a very sweet and moving tale of a young woman in India who loves to dance (traditional Bharatanatyam dance) who loses her leg ... morebelow the knee after a tragic car accident. It's a tale of self-discovery, mourning, healing, and the pathway to spirituality and peace. Hannah really enjoyed this and recommended it to me. I particularly enjoyed the look into another faith and culture. The writing is all written and type-set as poetry which adds depth to the story telling. less
