Cracks in the Ice - Klingel, Deanna K.

. .

Résumé :
Cracks in the Ice received the Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval and is a Selah Book Award finalist. We skate deliberately over the wide dangerous cracks, where lesser skaters might fall and never recover ... Gina Mangalli, niece of a mafia don, has dreams of Olympic gold as a figure skater. When tragedy strikes, her life spins out of control, and then a rash decision changes Gina's life forever. The burden of guilt causes a spiral that carries her further from the life she had always dreamed for herself. Have things gone too far? Can her hopes and dreams be restored or is it too late?...
