About The Girl Without A Face
Product Description "Could not have a more perfect message, especially today. Love, acceptance, and in the end, the courage to inspire.” -Skating magazine (official publication of U.S. Figure Skating) At age fifteen, Katie Wilder might be one of the greatest figure skaters in the world . . . but no one even knows she exists. When a childhood accident leaves her face so severely scarred that she wears a mask, Katie never leaves the Ice Castle, the rink owned by her father, a once-famous coach. Skating since she could walk, and without friends and distractions, every moment is dedicated to her passion – skating - under her father's guidance. However, when her father returns to coaching and Olympic hopefuls come to train, her safe and private world is gone. Katie searches for the courage to not only show the world what she can do on the ice, but more importantly, make her first friend, and start to live a life that extends outside the rink.
