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 Eric's hockey team call him the Iceman, because he's a
heartless player, cold as ice. Only Eric knows the truth--he's not cold,
he's on fire, burning with a need he just can't explain. Least of all to
his family--not 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, "Your problem is..." Or even his brother, Duane, once
a star athlete, now a star slacker.
Can Eric find a way to make them understand how he feels--before the
fire inside consumes him completely?
