Description:

America's Sweetheart" Dorothy Hamill grew up on the ice, working toward the dream she was to accomplish by age nineteen: winning Olympic gold in figure skating. But her life was not the picture of perfection it appeared to be. Dorothy faced a painful inner struggle with depression that followed her from the time she was a young girl into adulthood. The months she spent away from home to train and compete took a toll, yet little reprieve could be found in the tumultuous and fragile relationship she had with her parents.
