Dancing Through It By Jenifer Ringer

Former New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Jenifer Ringer gives a behind-the-curtain look at the world of classical ballet, along with her private -- and sometimes public -- struggles.

She writes about her faith, an eating disorder, getting fired from the ballet and "Sugarplumgate," when -- after she'd conquered her eating disorder -- a critic reviewing "The Nutcracker" wrote that her Sugarplum Fairy looked as if she'd eaten one sugarplum too many. But that opened up a discussion on weight issues and got her an appearance on "Oprah."

She also writes about her family and, in our interview, talks about her future plans now that she has retired from the ballet. "Dancing Through It: My Journey in the Ballet" also includes many beautiful pictures any ballet fan will love.
