"A memoir of Karina Manta, the first female member of USA Figure Skating to come out as queer"-- A figure skater on Team USA, Manta didn't meet an out-lesbian until she was nearly seventeen. Here she tells of her struggle with body image in a sport that prizes delicate femininity. It is a story of panic attacks, and first crushes, and all the crushes that followed. And it is a story about growing up, feeling different than everybody around her and then realizing that everyone else felt different too. -- adapted from jacket
