Ash Richards’s Reviews > Frozen Teardrop: The Tragedy and Triumph of Figure Skating's "Queen of Spin" > Status Update

It seems as though Lucinda wrote this book to explain her decline towards the end of her skating career rather than to provide a sort of lesson, of which she formally notes as her plan for the reader to take away.

She keeps complaining about her circumstances and praising her mother despite the circumstances being perpetuated by her parents. Getting frustrated

Something about the way Lucinda shifts between extreme affection for her mother and deathly, paralyzing fear of her abuse is unsettling in a way which I’ve never seen in an autobiography before
