Book Reviews & Awards
• “Through the years I have heard from countless Mickey Mantle fans from virtually every walk of life. But until now, never a ballerina. Roni Mahler’s memoir is written with the same grace she brought to the stage and includes fond memories of the grace the young Mantle brought to center field at her beloved Yankee Stadium.”—Bob Costas
• “Roni Mahler’s dance talent and feisty resilience shine in this charming account of her wide-eyed career among ballet luminaries. Thank goodness Mahler’s mother took her not only to Little League but to ballet class! This book is a charming romp through the life of a gifted, observant dancer (and baseball fanatic) who learned from the best. It’s as fun as a day at Yankee Stadium.”—Rachel Howard, dance correspondent, San Francisco Chronicle
