Once a gifted ballet dancer, Julia Costell buckled under the demands of a professional dance career, and has landed with a thud in an unglamorous job as a guidance counselor at a performing arts high schoool. Living back home with her parents and feeling lost, she is afraid she'll never soar again...until the day young Dell Jordan is sent to her office, carrying an essay.
The 4th book in the "Tending Roses" series, is the first one where most of the action takes place away from the farm and Hindsville -- in Kansas City where Karen and James have settled with Dell Jordan. While Dell features prominently in the book, the story is really about her guidance counselor at her new school. Insightful and heartwarming, and a decent read.
This was an interesting story about the relationship between a guidance counseler and a student and how the student's life experiences parallel her own.
