À l''époque, je m''appelais Mabinty Bangura, et je dansais pieds nus dans la boue à la saison des pluies. " Mabinty Bangura est née en Sierra Leone en 1995, alors que la guerre civile fait rage. Quand ses parents meurent, aucun membre de sa famille n''est prêt à l''accueillir, car l''enfant souffre d''une maladie de peau, le vitiligo, qui, selon les superstitions africaines, serait une manifestation de sorcellerie. Numéro 27 dans un orphelinat, elle est contre toute attente adoptée à l''âge de quatre ans par une famille américaine et rejoint les États-Unis. Rebaptisée Michaela, elle n''aura plus qu''un rêve : devenir ballerine. Après avoir survécu à la guerre, la maladie et la famine, son combat sera de se faire une place dans l''exigeant milieu de la danse classique, où les préjugés sur la couleur de peau sont particulièrement présents... Michaela DePrince et sa mère nous livrent ici un récit bouleversant, le témoignage d''un destin exceptionnel et d''une force de vie hors du commun.
