I'm a big fan of Tillie Walden since I read On a Sunbeam. I can't say enough good things about this book. There's a lot of emotional vulnerability and I loved the author's note at the end explaining that not everything was accurate, like the outfits they wore, the time/date of the competitions, etc. What was true, was the they they felt during their ice skating years and that was the important thing for the reader to experience.
