Verdict: carrot
They saw hundreds of dead bodies on their way out of Sierra Leone. Ballet star Michaela DePrince “could tell how long they had been dead by the stink and the bugs that crawled on them”. Hope in a Ballet Shoe is her true story.
Each episode related in the book, co-authored with her adopted mother, tugs at the emotions. Every story evokes the question: “But how old are you?” Certain experiences can be buffered by age and maturity; De Prince did not have that luxury.
