Michaela was quite the precocious child. At the age of three she witnessed such horrific atrocities. I had to re-read her time to the orphanage in order to ascertain that she was three years old and not six or seven years old. There were quite a few passages that I had to re-read and remind myself that unfortunately this was not fiction and that a three year old child was exposed to such abuse and graphic violence. Fortunately, Michaela along with her best friend were placed with a loving family and provided both girls with the love, stability and support they needed, encouraging both to pursue their interests. This love would allow Michaela to dance through insecurities due to vitiligo and the asinine and racist remarks about minority dancers and their masculine and non graceful body types. I recommend this memoir along with Misty Copeland, Gabrielle Douglas, Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez. I find each of their stories to be inspirational and something that everyone interested in the dance and gymnastics should read.
This book was such a joy to read from cover to cover. It was a page turner and fairly quick read without being too short, but left me wanting more, which is always a good thing for a book. It goes through Michaela's early childhood in Sierra Leon up to her current life as a professional ballerina; and all the tidbits in between culminate to paint such a vivid and inspiring picture. This is a story of strength, heartbreak, perseverance, and passion to achieve a lifelong dream in-spite of having the cards stacked against her from the very start.Although the book is largely about Michaela's journey, there is another star in the book, and that is her American mother. It is without a doubt that Michaela had the fortitude and determination to make things happen for herself, but the support of her parents (all four of them) afforded her many opportunities she likely would not otherwise have had. The brief details about her American mother make me want to know so much more about this remarkable woman, I hope she writes her own memoir as I would love to read it. I won't spoil anything for you readers, but I will just say the quiet impact this woman has had on the lives of her children and in turn, humanity, is breathtakingly admirable.It is true that there is a fair amount of ballet jargon in some of the book that might be over the heads of people not in the dance world, but there is so much more to her story than that and it shouldn't detract from a larger, non-dance enthusiast readership (it may even serve to inspire readers to learn more about the art of ballet). The book is first and foremost a memoir and ballet is an important backdrop to the overall story of overcoming the odds to achieve your dreams. I think this book will appeal to anyone who likes to read about any one or several of the following: the unwavering human spirit, feminism/gender equality, breaking racial barriers, family (the one you're born in and the family you choose), adoption, grief and loss, challenging fears, ballet, bridging cultural gaps, early childhood trauma, paving new paths, friendship, what it takes to succeed, and at the heart of it all...love.
The most beautiful of stories. A loving compassionate family solves their grief over losing sons by adopting 2 young girls from Sierra Leone Orphanage. I think the mother, Elaine DePrince, herself just as fascinating a story as Michaela - how she copes with all the problems that present themselves - helping these children learn to speak English, bringing them back to health, guiding them gently into the ways of life in a completely strange society and atmosphere the girls have never seen before, how she helps them deal with the fears and the tragedies of their past and overcome them. Michaela has become a very successful and exquisite Ballerina in addition to becoming a well-balanced joyful and beautiful young lady in every way - inside and out. This is a success story that has only barely begun. And the book so well done once I picked up it is one I just couldn't put down until finished.
I first heard about this book when I saw a short documentary that was circulating online. Then, I saw a documentary called "First Position" and had wanted to read this. I'm so glad I did. The descriptions of Michaela's life in Sierra Leone are described in such a way as to provide the reader with the seriousness of what she experienced without being too graphic for younger readers to handle. It's quite fascinating to have a first-hand perspective on a child's life in Africa, how she ended up in America, and how she acheived her dream of becoming a professional Ballerina through the support of her adoptive family. This is an appropriate book for all ages and would be a great book for middle schoolers to read for class. The photographs at the end of the book are a wonderful touch and help to establish a connection with Michaela and her family. "Taking Flight" is a humbling read that will stick with the reader.
I found this book to be totally engrossing. I am a former choreographer and teacher and have seen Michaela dance on Dancing With The Stars and loved seeing her in the film First Position. Her dramatic story touched my heart the first time I heard it. Clearly she is a prodigy who was given an opportunity to follow her dream and become the person and artist she was meant to be. This book gave me a chance to get to know her story better and to get acquainted with her remarkable adoptive parents. To say I am impressed would be an understatement. Her parents are an inspiration to all of us, and Michaela's courage, hard work, and innate artistry are an example of what can be achieved when a gifted child is given the opportunity to let her spirit truly Take Flight. A Standing Ovation from this reader for Michaela and the wonderful dePrince family!
