She was born to skate. But no one told her what to do when the ice breaks.
Emily once lived for the ice; child prodigy, national treasure, Olympic hopeful. At seventeen, she was unstoppable. Until one devastating fall ended it all. Shattered bones and shattered dreams left her not just injured, but lost. Now nineteen and stuck between the memory of who she was and the fear of who she might never be again, Emily faces a painful recovery, a fractured home life, and a mother whose dreams may not be her own.
The rink still calls to her, but so do the doubts. Can she fight her way back after the injury that nearly destroyed her? Or has the ice, once her greatest love, become her greatest threat? With the next Winter Games fast approaching, Emily has one shot to rise not just for gold, but for herself.
