Description

When Janine Kovac gives birth to micro preemie twins nearly four months before they are due, she channels the grace and strength that carried her through a successful ballet career. The human body has amazing healing powers if you just know how to listen to it. But old habits bring up old haunts and bitter memories--the futile quest for perfection and a career-ending injury. In the sterile, fluorescent world of the NICU, ballet breeds hope as the twins make a miraculous recovery. Can it also bring resolution to the dancer so many years after the abrupt and painful end to the career she loved so much?

Author Biography:

Janine Kovac was a soloist with The National Ballet of Iceland (Īslenski Dansflokkurinn). Her career included dancing for companies in Italy, Austria, San Francisco, and in her hometown of El Paso, Texas. After ballet, Janine worked as a database architect and software engineer. She is a founding member of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit writing group Write on Mamas and co-founder of Moxie Road Productions, a consulting firm that helps women bring their ideas into the world. Janine is the author of Brain Changer: A Mother's Guide to Cognitive Science and a contributing editor of the anthology Mamas Write: 29 Tales of Truth, Wit, and Grit. In 2016 she was awarded the Elizabeth George Foundation Fellowship from Hedgebrook in addition to the gift of residency. She lives in Oakland, California, with her family.
