Description
"Katarina Shaw siempre ha sabido que estaba destinada a llegar a lo más alto. Cuando conoce a Heath Rocha, un chico solitario, su conexión instantánea los convierte en un dúo formidable sobre el hielo... Hasta que un impactante incidente en los Juegos Olímpicos los separa definitivamente. Años después, por el décimo aniversario de la última vez que patinaron juntos, un documental reaviva la obsesión pública al afirmar revelar «la verdad sobre Shaw y Rocha» a través de entrevistas con sus amigos y sus rivales. Kat no quiere tener nada que ver, pero tampoco puede soportar la idea de que otros definan su legado. Así que, después de una década de silencio, cuenta su historia: desde las tragedias de la infancia que la unieron a Heath hasta el choque de deseos que los separó. Y resulta que, a pesar de que los rumores han seguido cada uno de sus pasos durante años, la verdad puede ser aún más impactante que los titulares." -- penguinrandomhouse.com.
Description
"She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family's support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating-and each other-to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and rollercoaster relationship. Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end. As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the "real story" through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary. But she can't stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy either. So, after a decade of silence, she's telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines"-- Provided by publisher.
