DERBY - Meet author and 2018 Derby High School graduate Nicole Rizzo at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 28 who will discuss her new memoir, "Running on Thin Ice." In her book, Nicole opens up about her struggles with an eating disorder and obsession with exercising.
At 10 years old, Nicole Rizzo discovered cross country. The sport was a gift - with it came chaotic runs fueled by Bugles, an eccentric coach, and hilarious teammates. Before long, the laughter faded, and everything shifted. She slipped into a battle with overexercising, under-eating, and perfectionism.
Joining a high school team obsessed with winning, she remained exhausted physically and numb mentally. Forced to heal if she wanted to live fully, she uprooted the destructive habits of her past and unearthed what it really means to be strong.
"Running on Thin Ice" traces a journey of past selves and captures those painful, unsettling, and beautiful moments that show it's possible to grab hold of solid ground and escape the frigid water just in time.
