Skateway to Freedom
By Ann Alma.
Description
Eleven-year-old Josie Grun escapes from Communist East Germany with her parents one dark night in 1989 just months before the Berlin Wall crumbles. Crossing the ocean to join her uncle in Calgary, she attempts to learn a foreign language and overcome the prejudices of her schoolmates in order to forge a new life. Clinging to the passion that has always been a comfort, her figure skating, she enters a local competition to prove that she is free -- on the ice and off. - from Amzon
