Her mind leaps to becoming a ballerina who paints, spinning across stages while creating art mid-pirouette. Each profession sparks another wild combination in her creative brain. The possibilities multiply until they overwhelm her completely. How can she possibly select just one path when the world offers so many exciting options? Ellie Mae struggles with this dilemma until inspiration strikes. Her final answer will catch everyone off guard, including readers who think they know where her dreams will lead.
