A Time to Dance — Karen Strickler Dean

To every thing there is a season.

Lara and Summer. They've been best friends since they started ballet school five years ago. Now they're ready for the biggest challenge of all -- a tryout with the Ballet Association School of New York City.

It means working harder than they've ever worked in their lives, and making some tough choices. Every step Lara takes toward New York pushes her farther away from her parents. And for Summer, making a commitment to dance may mean giving up her chance at love.

All their lives, they've dreamed of being dancers. But suddenly, being a dancer means more -- more work, more sacrifices, more pure joy -- than they'd ever dreamed.
