"'Could I ever smile again and be happy?,' wondered Glorya Kaufman as she tried to comprehend the news that her husband's plane had crashed and was dead. She had been married for twenty-eight years to Donald Bruce Kaufman, cofounder of the Fortune 500 building company Kaufman and Broad. She was a wife and a mother. That was what she knew. Amid her suffering, one thing still brought her joy: dance. She recalled swaying on her father's toes at a young age. But many children never get the chance to take dance lessons and express themselves through this beautiful art form. In her memoir, Glorya tells how she discovered the strength to better herself and those less fortunate. In doing this, she found happiness again. Glorya Kaufman is a Los Angeles--based philanthropist who founded the Glorya Kaufman Dance Foundation, which funds dance education and services for underprivileged children."--Page [4] of cover.
