I loved this book
I am a huge figure skating fan, but this book is aimed at every audience.
My love for the sport developed with the Battle of the Brians, so in 87-88 so i was focusted more on the, at the time, newcomers to the sports.
However, I always heard bits and pieces about Scott and finally, I got to actually read her story.
I cannot believe how much she did for the sport.
Her life is so cool and the author did a wonderful job os telling us her story without a bunch of boring statistics.
