Perfection has a cost . . . With transporting prose and meticulous
detail, set in an era that remains shockingly relevant today, Rae
Meadows's Winterland tells a story of glory, loss, hope, and
determination, and of finding light where none exists. Soviet
Union, 1973: There is perhaps no greater honor for a young girl
than to be chosen for the famed USSR gymnastics program. When
eight-year-old Anya is selected, her family is thrilled. What is
left of her family, that is. Years ago, her mother disappeared
without a trace, leaving Anya's father devastated and their lives
dark and quiet in the bitter cold of Siberia. Anya's only confidant
is her neighbor, an older woman who survived unspeakable horrors
during her ten years imprisoned in a Gulag camp--and who,
unbeknownst to Anya, was also her mother's confidant and might hold
the key to her disappearance. As Anya rises through the ranks of
competitive gymnastics, and as other girls fall from grace, she
soon comes to realize that there is very little margin of error for
anyone and so much to lose.
