Ice Dancer

£7.99

Angry and frustrated at having to stay with her miserable aunt in Sheffield, Dina is determined to pursue her lifelong passion for skating – even if it has to be in secret. But being a stranger in an unfamiliar city, far from the remote countryside of her home, is hard to handle. Shy and lacking in confidence, Dina must overcome her misgivings and find a way to be accepted. Desperate to escape the oppressive atmosphere of her aunt’s house, and feeling the weight of responsibility for her younger brothers, Dina makes her way to the Ice Arena. She is captivated by the skills of the skaters she sees and filled with the overwhelming desire to compete. But it’s only when all the odds are against her, that she finds the courage to follow her dream. However, dreams can unravel, and when the family’s past starts to catch up with Dina, a chance encounter at the ice rink sets off events that lead to an unexpected discovery.
