The Ballet

Will life look brighter with the New Year or will the bleak get bleaker?

New Years Eve is a time to celebrate the year that?s fled and cheer the year to come.

A ballerina before the tragic accident that crippled her, Rose Fineman sat through the big dance, waiting, hoping - for what she wasn?t sure, until she spotted Ryan Moran. Her high school crush?but he was a soldier and she?d lost so much to violence already.

Too many wars, too many battles lay in Ryan?s past, coloring his outlook on the future in bleak tones. That was, until he looked across a crowded room and saw a rare beauty being cruelly teased by her peers. He had nothing more to offer than the protection of his presence and his hand in a dance.

One dance, two promises, and a spark of love?will it be enough to hold Rose until Ryan returns from war?

Can a promise really be kept? Find out with The Ballet to see how well you dance to the story!
