The Dancer — Michelle Vernal

<h2><strong>Where's the girl that used to dance like nobody was watching gone?</strong></h2><h3>Veronica and Gabe meet as children at a local ballet class and swiftly bond over the discord in their home lives. As they move into their teens their mutual talent, passion for ballet and love for one another, blossoms. Their future in the world of dance is assured when they're both accepted into a prestigious Parisian ballet school.</h3><h3>That was then and this is now…</h3><h3>For Veronica, her mid-forties feel like she's trapped inside a deflating balloon. She's separated, works behind a fragrance counter, has teenage sons whose moods fluctuate like the tides and, her mother, Margo has dementia. She's all things to everyone including a needy ex-husband and sister who's never grown up.</h3><h3>When an unexpected letter arrives, her past crashes into the present. Veronica knows in order to heal she and Margo must discuss the events that derailed her dreams, twenty-six years ago. Is it too late though for Margo to remember?</h3><h3></h3>
