Beauty and the Beast?

This is Whitney Sue Jones.
We are coming up on the three year anniversary of this beautiful dancer's horrible car accident where she broke her neck and sustained many other serious injuries.
We all followed her miraculous recovery as she underwent operations and then the therapy of recovery! And recover she did!
She is now a Junior in college and still dancing....beautifully!

Here are my favorite images of this beauty...
all taken after her recovery starting with the image I took the day after her neck brace was removed and she was told that she could dance again.
