The still point : a novel / Tammy Greenwood.

Summary:

"Ever, Lindsay, and Josie have ushered their daughters -- Bea, Olive, and Savvy -- through years of dance classes in their coastal California town. They've tended bloodied feet, stitched ribbons to countless pairs of pointe shoes, and in the process, forged friendships that seem to transcend rivalry. But now Etienne Bernay, enfant terrible of French ballet, has come to their conservatory. Not only will he direct this year's production of The Nutcracker, but he's brought along a film crew to document his search for one special student who will receive a full scholarship to the Ballet de Paris Académie. For the girls, this is the chance to fulfill lifelong dreams. For Ever, recently widowed and struggling financially, it may be the only way to keep Bea dancing. And Bea is a truly gifted dancer -- poetic and ethereal, breathtaking to watch. Lindsay, meanwhile, frets that Olive is growing tired of the punishing reality of training, while Josie has no such qualms about Savvy, who is a powerhouse of ambition. From auditions to casting to rehearsals, the camera captures the selection process, with its backstabbing and jealousy, disappointment and triumph. But it's behind the scenes that will yield the most shocking revelations, exposing the secrets and lies at the heart of all three families -- and the sacrifices women make for their children, for friendship, and for art."-- Provided by publisher.
