In this very moving novel, Annie gave up her dream of being an Olympic skating champion long ago, but her beautiful sixteen-year-old daughter, Madison Henry, is good enough on the ice to fulfill that dream.  Annie is a strict coach and there has been no time for anything but skating since Madison was a very young child. Jack has been her only  friend for as long as she can remember, but she seems completely oblivious to his deep feelings for her. Skating is the only topic of conversation at the Henry household, and many hours each day are spent at the ice rink.

Madison's goal seems to be in sight, and then the unthinkable happens. She may never skate again. Everyone must look at life in a different way now. Riley Weston has managed to capture the wonderful mother-daughter bond between Annie and Madison and the devotion of Jack for the love of his life. As Madison comes to terms with the disappointment of not being able to skate, she begins to realize the immensity of Annie's selfless sacrifice for her, and the wonderful solace and joy of Jack's undying love. This novel is filled with the soaring excitement of women's ice skating and the raw emotion that you will long remember as these people struggle with their deep feelings and try to put their lives in perspective.
