Beneath Broken | Nathan Chen

"I want to drop out of college."

"I want to quit figure skating."

NATHAN CHEN is a regular med student pressing through the end of his junior year and the rapidly approaching but all so important MCAT's. What he wants is to be back out on the ice, but the fact that he just briefly escaped paralysis has left him with more scars than he cares to admit.
