Then, on a cold day during her senior year, the police caught her walking down the street with a Tupperware full of heroin. For the next nine years, Keri ricocheted from one dark place to the next: living on the streets, selling drugs and sex, and shooting up between classes all while trying to hold herself together enough to finish her degree at Cornell. But when her skating career suddenly fell apart, that meant diving into self-destruction with the intensity she once saved for the ice. Growing up, that meant throwing herself into competitive figure skating with an all-consuming passion that led her to nationals.
Keri Blakinger always lived life at full throttle. An electric and unforgettable memoir about a young woman's journey-from the ice rink, to addiction and a prison sentence, to the newsroom-and how she emerged with a fierce determination to expose the broken system she experienced.
