Publisher's Synopsis
Nazari Liraya Perez (Nali) was born in a small town in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, called Kenscoff, to a Dominican father and Haitian mother. She'd lost both parents and her right leg, in an Earthquake that devastated the whole Country. She'd now become an orphan and an amputee, at the tender age of five. She was later adopted by a couple from the United states; Barry Whitfield, a Caucasian doctor, and Isabelle Sousa, an Argentinian dancer. Upon watching her stepmom dance, Nazari became enthralled with becoming a ballerina. But, considering she only had one leg, she feared that dream would be an impossible one. Alas, a glimmer of hope came, when she received the greatest gift of all; A prosthetic ballet leg that would change the course of her life. Through her journey of insecurities, about her missing limb, and issues with self acceptance, Nali realizes that self love is the breaker of all boundaries.
