Padma Venkatraman’s inspiring story of a young girl’s
struggle to regain her passion and find a new peace is told
lyrically through verse that captures the beauty and mystery
of India and the ancient bharatanatyam dance form. This is a
stunning novel about spiritual awakening, the power of art,
and above all, the courage and resilience of the human spirit.
Veda, a classical dance prodigy in India, lives and breathes
dance—so when an accident leaves her a below-knee amputee,
her dreams are shattered. For a girl who’s grown used to
receiving applause for her dance prowess and flexibility,
adjusting to a prosthetic leg is painful and humbling. But
Veda refuses to let her disability rob her of her dreams,
and she starts all over again, taking beginner classes with
the youngest dancers. Then Veda meets Govinda, a young man
who approaches dance as a spiritual pursuit. As their
relationship deepens, Veda reconnects with the world around
her, and begins to discover who she is and what dance truly
means to her.
