A Girl Named Faithful Plum: The True Story of a Dancer from China and How She Achieved Her Dream
In 1977, when Zhongmei Lei was eleven years old, she learned that the prestigious Beijing Dance Academy was having open auditions
She'd already taken dance lessons, but everyone said a poor country girl would never get into the academy, especially without any connections in the Communist Party of the 1970s
But Zhongmei, whose name means Faithful Plum, persisted, even going on a hunger strike, until her parents agreed to allow her to go
She traveled for three days and two nights to get to Beijing and eventually beat out 60,000 other girls for one of 12 coveted spots
But getting in was easy compared to staying in, as Zhongmei soon learned
Without those all-important connections she was just a little girl on her own, far away from family
But her determination, talent, and sheer force of will were not something the teachers or other students expected, and soon it was apparent that Zhongmei was not to be underestimated
Zhongmei became a famous dancer, and founded her own dance company, which made its New York debut when she was in just her late 20s
In "A Girl Named Faithful Plum," her husband and renowned journalist, Richard Bernstein, has written a fascinating account of one girl's struggle to go from the remote farmlands of China to the world's stages, and the lengths she went to in order to follow her dream.

The call to self expression haunts a delicate, poignant tale about family and art, love and longing and the ineffable tie between parent and child
Clara lives with her father and grandmother in a little village
More than anything, Clara loves to dance, but her father has had too much sadness in his life to abide dancing
When Clara sees a troupe of dancers performing in the village one June day, she is enchanted enough to follow their wagons deep into the forest and what she finds there changes her life forever
This bewitching fairy tale by master storyteller Amy Ehrlich, tenderly illustrated by Rebecca Walsh, honors the call to the artistic life and acknowledges with compassion the pain of those left behind.
