The year is 1949 in a small country village back in the
mountains of West Virginia. Callie, a twelve-year-old
girl lives with her family on a farm. They live off the
main highway on a one-lane dirt road winding through
the countryside. Teepee type haystacks fill the fields
with beauty exploding along the way. Her family
performs farm chores for a living. Her parents are
Christians raising their children in the same manner.

Callie is leafing through a catalog one day and spots
a pair of white satin ballerina slippers, immediately
falls in love with them, and decides she wants to
become a ballet dancer. From that moment forward
Callie lives in an imaginary state of becoming a dancer.

One morning on a trek to her one-room schoolhouse
Callie encounters a dangerous situation and tries to
protect herself, returning home extremely ill. What
causes Callie's illness? Will she ever get to dance in
her magical white satin ballerina slippers?
