Life in Motion ~ An Unlikely Ballerina is the story of Misty Copeland’s life and how she became a ballerina, author and public figure. She started as one of six children, shy, fearful of not pleasing the adults in her life, small and quiet. She found she could work toward her goal of perfection and be free when she was on a stage while still a child. Although she didn’t start dancing ballet until age thirteen, being African-American, she has achieved great success as a ballerina. Life in Motion ~ An Unlikely Ballerina is very interesting but just a bit too many unimportant side tracks keeps it from being a great book although it is inspirational and worth reading.

In this instant New York Times bestseller, Misty Copeland makes history as the only African American soloist dancing with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre. But when she first placed her hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no one expected the undersized, anxious thirteen-year-old to become a groundbreaking ballerina.
When she discovered ballet, Misty was living in a shabby motel room, struggling with her five siblings for a place to sleep on the floor. A true prodigy, she was dancing en pointe within three months of taking her first dance class and performing professionally in just over a year: a feat unheard of for any classical dancer. But when Misty became caught between the control and comfort she found in the world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life (culminating in a highly publicized custody battle), she had to choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the courage to be one of a kind.
