Description
For ten years, figure skating shapes every part of Tillie Walden’s life, from predawn practices and glittering competitions to the relentless pursuit of perfection. As she grows older, changes schools, discovers her passion for art, and falls in love with her first girlfriend, she begins to question the role skating—and its often close-minded culture—should play in her identity. This candid graphic memoir explores adolescence, anxiety, bullying, romance, trauma, and the difficult process of recognizing when a cherished dream no longer feels like your own. With intimate artwork and emotional honesty, it captures the confusion and vulnerability of coming of age while learning to claim a life beyond expectations.
