Olympic figure skating champion Ekaterina Gordeeva shares an intimate and deeply moving memoir of her life with Sergei Grinkov, her skating partner and husband. From their first pairing as children in Soviet Russia through their rise to become the most elegant pairs team in the sport's history, this is a story of extraordinary dedication, artistic brilliance, and profound love.

When Sergei died suddenly during a routine training session in 1995, the skating world lost one of its greatest talents, and Ekaterina lost her soulmate. With remarkable honesty and grace, she chronicles their journey together—the triumphs, the challenges of life under the Soviet system, and the joy they found both on and off the ice. It's a testament to enduring love and the courage to carry on.
