Synopsis
Mary Sheeran follows her critically praised novel, Who Have the Power, with a passionate blend of fiction and nonfiction that explores the world of ballet, in particular, the ballets of George Balanchine. The year is 1988, and the setting is a gala performance at the New York City Ballet, the late George Balanchine's company. Dancer John Fencer struggles with career and romantic frustrations, as well as the manipulations of a wealthy patron who believes she owns all ballet as well as the people who create it. But a much less prominent member of the audience holds the key to everyone's destiny.

Review
Sheeran explores a woman's fascination with the ballet world with a most interesting voyeuristic subplot...and it succeeds. Impressive in its research of Balanchine, the image of women, and the sleeping princess as a motif. --Kirkus Reviews
A unique vision of George Balanchine's work and the life of the poetic imagination he shared with his audiences....intensely spiritual and remarkably feminist.
--Ariel's Time
It was wonderful to share these meditations on Balanchine and Mary Sheeran's passionate insistence that ballets belong as much to the audience as to those who produce and perform them. --Lynn Garafola, author of Legacies of Twentieth Century Dance
