Is Eric as cold as the ice he skates on? A fiery tour de force from the author of Inexcusable, a National Book Award finalist.
The other guys on Ericâs hockey team call him the Iceman, because heâs a heartless player, cold as ice. Only Eric knows the truthâheâs not cold, heâs on fire, burning with a need he just canât explain. Least of all to his familyânot to his dad, whose only joy in life is watching Eric smash other hockey players to a pulp. Or his mom, who starts every conversation with, âYour problem is...â Or even his brother, Duane, once a star athlete, now a star slacker.
Can Eric find a way to make them understand how he feelsâbefore the fire inside consumes him completely?
