Local author to discuss 'Running on Thin Ice' at Derby Public Library

DERBY - Derby Public Library will hold a book discussion at 1 p.m. April 27 with Derby High School graduate Nicole Rizzo who will discuss her book, "Running on Thin Ice."

At 10 years old, Nicole discovered cross-country running.

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 filled with overexercising, under-eating and perfectionism.

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.

Multiple copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk.

The Library is at 313 Elizabeth St.
