Practice with passion. Win - and lose - with
grace.
Mia St. Clair, a ten-year-old growing up in upstate New York, is the youngest
child and only girl in a family of intensely competitive hockey-crazed boys. Mia
is a good hockey player, but she's tired of skating in her brothers' shadows and
has decided to pursue her passion for figure skating instead. When a new
coach arrives to take over the Lucerne Skate Club, Mia finds herself gently
pushed to excel by the coach at the same time that she's pulled by her brothers
to stick with hockey.
Mia's been picked for Regionals. But will she be ready? Mia knows
the Regionals will take practice, determination - and a miracle! Money for
new skates and a costume is scarce in the sprawling St. Clair family. But
Mia discovers that help can be found in unexpected places.
Can she stay true to her heart ad follow her own path? And can she hold
her own in the world of competitive skating?
