On the Line: My Story of Becoming the First African American Rockette

""Though this tale explores painful emotions, its focus on Jennifer’s personal experience and the pleasure she found in dance make it an absolute delight.""—Kirkus Reviews

From the first Black Radio City Rockette dancer, Jennifer Jones, comes an inspiring autobiography perfect for fans of trailblazers like Misty Copeland, Mae Jemison, and more.

Dancing has always made her feel free, like she can do anything. But when Jennifer was a child, some people didn’t think that she had a future as a dancer because of the color of her skin.

With the support of her family, especially her mother, she proved that anything is possible when you believe you belong.

On the Line is a captivating true story about manifesting your dreams.
