For her, dancing is the only joy to counter the pain inflicted by hunger, her mothers drinking, and her selfish older sister. But when famed artist Edgar Degas demands Maries presence in his studio, it appears that her life will be transformed: He will pay her to pose for a new sculpture, and he promises to make her a star.\nAs Marie patiently stands before Mr. Degas each week, she dreams about supporting her family without being corrupted like most young dancers. She dreams about a life as a ballerina on the stage of the Opéra. And she dreams about being with her true love.\nIn this deeply moving, historically based account, Carolyn Meyer examines the life of the model for Edgar Degass most famous sculpture, Little Dancer Aged Fourteen.\nIncludes an authors note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974573617205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0152058796","price":61.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780152058791_1d5f1499-224f-4548-80ae-d378dc42ac6d.jpg?v=1778861043","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/marie-dancing-9780152058791","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
