|| BOOK'S SYNOPSIS || They were two mismatched kids teamed by the Soviet regime to perform for the good of the state. She was a tiny, serious girl of eleven; he was a fun-loving boy of fifteen. But they were talented and dedicated, and together they won four World Championships, two Olympic gold medals -- and the hearts of millions of fans.

Somewhere along the way, between training and competing, the couple fell madly in love, discovering the kind of profound relationship few ever find. Gordeeva and Grinkov (G & G as they were affectionately known) managed to parlay their intense emotions for each other into an exquisite, passionate skating style -- one that became even more luminous after the birth of their daughter.

My Sergei is a touching memoir of happiness remembered, great love lost, and insight gained. Over seventy-five vivid color and black-and-white photographs, many from Katia's private collection, enhance this love letter -- a book to be cherished by anyone who savors a dramatic romance and everyone whose heart skips a beat when an Olympic skater leaps above the ice for a chance at glory.
