Interesting look behind the scenes in this sport

Nancy Kerrigan won hearts with her dignity and poise following her 1994 assault. It's a pity that her image has been tarnished by her sulkiness at the 1994 Games and her affair with her married agent. Ms. Kerrigan gives a frank account of her life and career and one can't help but wish her well. A fascinating story of the action in the fast-paced world of figure skating and the sacrifices made by skaters and their families.

Great skating book!

Nancy does a great job filling us in on her climb to success. this book is NOT gossipy--she does not diss the other skaters (not even Tanya Harding). After reading this book I have great respect for Nancy!

This is a wonderful book for figure skating fans!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great book about Nancy Kerrigan. It is good for up-and-coming skaters!! It has dynamic photos of her along with a great descriptive text!!! However some of the wors are advanced and may not be suitable for children under 8.
