About This Book
What happens when your heart is torn between two very different dreams? Twelve-year-old Maya glides across the ice, just like her mom did, but her true passion lies in guarding the goal instead of dancing on blades. Can she find the courage to chase her own path, or will the weight of family expectations hold her back?
