The Rink GIrl is a collection of short stories, all of which involve an ice arena in a small town in Eastern Ohio. Front and center is a figure skater, Alice Maravicious, dubbed "Alice Marvelous" as a teen Olympic hopeful and later she goes by Maravicious again as a skating instructor and figure skating competition color commentor. Alice is the main character in many of the stories, and a walk-on character in some of the others.
