Reflecting on her time as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, actress and author Bure (Reshaping It All) brings readers backstage, behind the makeup, and into the dynamics of the popular reality competition in this well-written Christian memoir. Bure writes honestly about topics like modesty, submission, and femininity in relation to the show and media culture, providing scriptural examples that guided her through trying times. A longtime fan of the show, she shares her excitement over being invited to participate; relates off-camera moments and lessons learned with her dance partner, Mark Ballas, as they move toward the finale; and explores ways of controlling her personal boundaries in a sexually charged environment. Bure also talks with candor about her well-known battle with nerves and about criticism she received on social media from Christians during the competition. Often referring to the Bible, Bure supports her personal convictions with a commitment fully grounded in faith. Bure’s refreshingly honest voice and choice to emphasize spiritual insights over celebrity gossip make this more than just another cultural memoir.
