Women in Red
By Jordan Rosenfeld
Genre: Psychological
thriller
Book Description
Dead-broke single mother Stella Russo, daughter of a
world-class prima ballerina, has nearly given up on her own professional
aspirations—much less true love—when a dazzling impromptu stunt by a mysterious
troupe reminds her just how empowering performing onstage can be. Convincing
herself that a dependable gig with such a company just might be the ticket to a
better life for her musical-prodigy daughter and now-invalid mother, Stella
takes a giant jeté of faith and joins up. But when she lands in the clutches of
an enigmatic and demanding impresario bent on making her his star at any cost,
has she risked too much? As Stella untwists the troupe’s troubling secrets, she
becomes entangled in turns she could never imagine—and is forced to face her
own past as well. Women in Red draws readers into the dark, dangerous, and
dramatically sexy underworld of the dance—but also into the longing of every
living, breathing being for a family of one’s own.
