Soon, she is joined by hundreds of others, and they dance for days without pause or rest.

Heartsick - Jessie Stephens

The International Bestseller. Based on three true stories, Heartsick by Jessie Stephens is a compelling narrative non-fiction account of the many lows and occasional surprising highs of heartbreak.
