On February 15, 1961, all 18 members of the U.S. World Figure
Skating Team were killed in a plane crash, along with 16 coaches,
officials, and family members. Frozen in Time takes readers inside
the lives of the young skaters who died in the crash, revealing
their friendships, romances, rivalries, sacrifices, and triumphs.
The dramatic focus lingers on two families of powerful women: the
Owens and the Westerfelds. Maribel Owen, the most famous woman in
figure skating at the time, relentlessly drives her two young
daughters--pairs champion Mara and the spectacular Laurence, who
graced the cover of Sports Illustrated on the day she died. Myra
Westerfeld, meanwhile, loses her marriage while guiding her
daughters Sherri and Steffi to the pinnacle of the sport. Along
with the bittersweet personal stories, author Nikki Nichols
recounts the U.S. skating program's lengthy struggle to rebuild
after this devastating accident.
