Cathy recommends: The Spectacular by Fiona Davis
Genre: Historical fiction
Reading level: Adult
Summary: A thrilling story about the dreams and drive of one woman’s journey in the mid to late 1900s.
Cathy says: I chose this book because I know of one Foster native who became a Rockette, plus I’m always up for a good story. It’s interesting seeing the changing mores of family life during those years, as well as the grueling life of a dance performer. The author opens up the dancer’s life through back and forth visits from 1956 and present day (1992). It has a most satisfying ending.
