Tori just found out she has a muscle disease.It will put her in a wheelchair and ruin her skating career.She's on her way to nationals and she can't do anything about it now.Her mother's doing everything she can to stop Tori from skating,but Tori won't give up now,she's got to skate!She might not be doing very well, but she's got to skate.If she goes out there at least she'll know she tried.If she makes first,second or third she'll go to the 1998 Olympics in Nagano,Japan.That's her dream to be in the Olympics one day.And that's what she'll try to do in this book,to share her dream with the country and if she does, share her dream with the world!

A very emotionally charged and descriptive book! I loved it. A must read, and to be honest I read it three or four times!
