Frozen Teardrop is the autobiographical accounting of one of the most beloved and controversial personalities in the history of figure skating. In this straight-forward memoir, Lucinda Ruh takes her readers through the harsh and painful realities of the figure-skating world while exposing the never-before-released details of her own private pain and suffering which would ultimately make of this Guinness-listed international icon a bed-ridden suicidal—starved, agoraphobic and terrified to face her own inner truths.

It is a true-life tale of beauty, genius and skill contrasted against the cut-throat starkness of world figure skating competition in its bleakest, most tortuous, most mind-warping moments--as seen through the eyes of a developing young prodigy whose personal life would harbor its own menagerie of horrors, secrets and personal violations. It is the story of a dedicated athlete and remarkable human being who overcomes extraordinary adversity to achieve extraordinary fame but at what cost?
