LIFE WAS MEANINGLESS UNTIL HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HOCKEY Jake was a fifteen-year old runaway from West Texas who was a nothing, a zero -- he didn't care about anybody and nobody cared about him. That was until he found himself hiding under the bleachers of an ice arena in northern Wisconsin where he discovered hockey. He was mesmerized by the shimmering perfection of the ice and the flow and power of the game. One problem -- he didn't know how to skate. Jake vowed he would lie, cheat, even steal, to make his dream come true. This is a story about persistence and self-discovery, the drive to achieve the impossible, and the hunger to belong to something meaningful, all because of his love for the game.

Autorenporträt
Sharon grew up on a farm in Iowa where she learned the importance of family and a reverence for the land which are central themes in her novels. She and her husband lived in Dubuque in the 70's and fell in love with the splendor of the Upper Mississippi Valley. She wanted to write a novel which not only captures the beauty of the area but also depicts a chaotic time in American history when families struggled with heartbreaking events while questioning long established beliefs.
