Destined To Dance: A Novel About Martha Graham

They called her a genius.
They called her a goddess.
They called her a monster.

Which title best fits Martha Graham, iconic Mother of Modern Dance? Find out - in the first historical novel about this great American diva.


 DESTINED TO DANCE is a dynamic portrait of the legendary dancer, choreographer and ground-breaker in her field.

    A remarkable account of an American heroine: her successes, her sorrows, and her struggles. Here is a masterful portrait of Graham, onstage, backstage, offstage. We see Graham's break-through brilliance, often compared to Picasso's or Stravinsky. We also witness Graham's triumph over alcoholism, despair, and a failed marriage.
    A close-up on a complex and compelling overcomer. Martha Graham (1894-1991) invented a new "language of movement," still taught around the world and exemplified in such classic works as Appalachian Spring, among 180 others.  DESTINED TO DANCE is a must-read book.

Praise for Destined To Dance:

• The Midwest Book Review: "... a novel that lovers of contemporary dance will enjoy, very much recommended reading.”

• Terri J. Riche, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: "Marcy Heidish tells an excellent story about this passionate woman who created a new way of expression through a unique dance style.”

• Stephanie DePue, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: “Heidish can write a lively line, and her prose moves quickly ... a fairly quick and easy read for anyone interested in the passing show of the arts scene.”
