    "description": "A dashed dream leads to a rash decision in the fifth installment of Cynthia Voigt\u2019s Tillerman cycle.\n\nMina Smiths lives to dance, so her scholarship to ballet camp seems like a dream come true. She doesn\u2019t even mind being the only black girl in the troupe\u2014that is, until she is told she\u2019ll never be a classical dancer. It\u2019s then that Mina begins to face some difficult truths about race and identity and transfers her passion for dance to Tamer Shipp, the summer minister for her church. The problem is, he\u2019s a grown man with a family, but she can\u2019t stop wishing for more to their friendship than simply pastor and parishioner.\n\nCynthia Voigt\u2019s incomparable mastery of character and community shines forth in this stirring novel from her acclaimed Tillerman cycle.",
