 OUTSIDE THE LIMELIGHT, nominee for Kirkus Prize, named to Kirkus' Best Indie Books of 2017
Outside the Limelight In OUTSIDE THE LIMELIGHT, two talented dancer sisters beset by professional rivalry and bound by love must reexamine loyalties when a devastating medical condition leaves one fighting for her career. Opportunity, betrayal and passion color this behind-the-scenes glimpse of the professional ballet world, in what Kirkus Reviews calls "a lovely and engaging tale of sibling rivalry in the high-stakes dance world." (Starred review) "The novel has found a larger audience beyond the dance world," says author Terez Mertes Rose, herself a former ballet dancer. "I'm so pleased. People of all walks of life can understand and appreciate the perils that infirmity can bring to one's career, one's entire world. And the theme of sisters helping sisters has resonated with so many readers. I'm thrilled this novel was chosen for Kirkus' Best Indie Books of 2017 list." The Kirkus Prize is one of the richest literary awards in the world, with a prize of $50,000 bestowed annually to authors of fiction, nonfiction and young readers' literature.

Winners will be selected on November 2, 2017. The Best Indie Books of 2017 list, as well as other 2017 Best Books categories, will be featured in the Kirkus Reviews magazine, email newsletter, and website.
