Dick Button Joy Goodwin has written an intelligent, insightful, informative, and entertaining book. It's more than just skating -- it's a look inside three cultures. The Second Mark is first-rate and the best sports book I've read in years.

Peggy Fleming From the first page of The Second Mark, I was hooked. Reading this book brought me right back into the Salt Lake arena for the drama that unfolded. I was riveted by the story of these six remarkable athletes on their journey to the Olympics, even though I already knew much of their history. Joy Goodwin is an extraordinary reporter and a great storyteller, and The Second Mark is a terrific book. It's a must-read for people who love the sport, but it's also a must-read for anyone who loves a great story.
