What is the plot of book For Anya?
Anya Balanchine has it all. She is a talented ballerina who has been given a full scholarship to the prestigious School of American Ballet. She has supportive parents and has a bright future ahead of her. But Anya also is struggling with a secret: she is addicted to prescription painkillers. Anya's addiction began innocently enough. First, she would share pills with her friends. Then she would take an extra dose to "help her focus." But soon, Anya was taking more and more pills just to function. She started skipping classes and rehearsals, falling asleep wherever and whenever she could, and her behavior changed. Her family and friends worried, but Anya dismissed them, claiming she was just under a lot of stress.
As Anya's addiction worsens, she begins to lose everything she has worked for. She is kicked out of ballet school, her parents stop speaking to her, and she is evicted from her apartment. Anya finds herself homeless and alone.
But just when it seems like all hope is lost, Anya meets a group of people who help her turn her life around. She goes to rehab, and she begins to rebuild her relationships with her family and friends. Anya also starts dancing again, and she eventually returns to the School of American Ballet.
For Anya is a powerful and moving story about addiction and recovery. It is a story of hope, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
