Ko's father remained very much on his mind, and he connected to his dad in nightly prayers.
He describes in heartbreaking detail his father's struggle with cancer, including a failed liver transplant and their last family trip to California. Despite his family's financial hardships and many setbacks, Ko never lost his upbeat disposition. His passion for it, both as an athlete and as an artist, is evident. After being sidelined from gymnastics to work through an injury, Ko finally received his father's blessing to pursue dance. Gr 5–8-Ko focuses on the two main events in his young life: the loss of his dad from cancer when he was 11, and his subsequent foray into ballet, leading to a starring role, at age 13, on Broadway.
