My best friend's favorite book growing up, and out of curiosity for her taste I decided to research the book. I came across the autobio and instantly understood why this story was so special to her. The story touched my heart as it did her back when she first read the book. To show my gratitude for her sharing the story, I decided to surprise her and give this book to her as a gift. BTW, she loved the gift and I'm happy I made her smile. Would highly recommend to anyone of all ages.

I loved to be able to see Sergei Grinkov as a man and an individual and not just as Ekatrina Gordeeva's skating partner more clearly than just watching the video. Although I grieved at the words of used to describe Katia's suffering I still needed to read the story in her own words. Such a beautiful love they had for each other and such an awful tradegy for Katia & Daria....and such a sadness in my heart that such a beautiful and gentle man died so young. I think Katia had the right approach to her sadness & grief and how to move past it by saying that she left her youth with Sergei...I think she locked it away like the treasure it was in order to live her life and to give a rich, happy life to Sergei's daughter. Very moving story...
I followed this couple's skating life on TV, and really came to love them and their style. When I heard about his untimely death, I was both shocked and grieved. Reading the book helped me bring closure to the pain I was feeling for her and her baby.If she with time was able to moved on, then I could find solace in that. It's a very moving, tender, love story. One you'll truly enjoy. I have my own copy. This one I bought for a friend. There should be a sequel, (perhaps there is & I just don't know about it!) as I just saw her recently on TV & she's happily remarried and has another little girl!! =^)
It's such a heart whelming love story of this talented and beautiful couple. Enjoyed reading it.
