Incredible story of persistence and survival

I read this a long time ago, after Agnes de Mille was interviewed on TV. She comes from a very interesting family and she is a choreographer. Tough old bird.

Reprieve: A memoir

One of the most inspirational books you're likely to read. Aggie doesn't give up - ever. How she deals with her stroke, her heart attack and her rehabilitation are incredible. And that she does it all with humor and a good sense of reality make this book good, quick reading.
