Every morning the same. Get up, pack the skates, and head to the ice rink while it’s still dark outside. Weekends are spent in sparkling costumes at competitions. Perform, smile. And then it all starts over again. Since childhood, figure skating has dictated the rhythm of Tillie Walden's life. But as she transitions into adulthood, the strict plan begins to falter: Amid all the expectations placed on her at school, at home, and on the ice, a young woman emerges who discovers her homosexuality and reclaims her freedom. In the autobiographical comic "Spin," Tillie Walden tells the story of her quest for self-determination and what it means to leave behind the familiar and the known.
