A sports story about mentorship and character: how a coach and student learn responsibility, discipline, and fair play. A book about the price of victory, overcoming challenges, and growing up in sports.

The novel, inspired by Soviet skier Lyubov Kozyreva's victory at the 1956 Olympics, was intended, according to the author, to be the basis for a musical comedy. The idea never came to fruition, but the story was adapted into a film, highly acclaimed by both domestic and international audiences worldwide.

When coach Stepan Chudinov, disillusioned with his student, leaves the profession and moves to Zimogorsk, fate—or someone else?—brings him together with young skier Natasha Skuratova, who has also lost faith in herself. Both are determined to break away from sports... But is this possible when the entire town is literally obsessed with skiing?
