description: ALL THE DREAMS, ALL THE HEARTBREAK, ALL THE HARD-WON TRIUMPH IN A LIFETIME OF GOING FOR THE GOLD... Even at an early age, Nancy Kerrigan was blessed with an incredible talent and natural elegance in the rink. She rose at 4:00 A.M. almost every day to skate before high school, sacrificing much of her childhood to pursue her dreams on ice. Yet growing up in the blue-collar town of Stoneham, Massachusetts, was a long, hard way from the glamorous, often grueling, world of professional skating. Possessed of a spirited determination, however, Nancy Kerrigan overcame the odds--to become America's sweetheart.This is Nancy's inspiring story: her childhood in a loving working-class family, her meteoric rise to stardom, the brutal attack in Detroit, and her courageous recovery. And through it all, Nancy Kerrigan vowed never to give up, always to aim for that personal best, and--both in life and in the Olympics--to go for the gold!
