Chrystal and Cashmere

Cashmere Dee Crawford was born in Kentucky and lived in New York City. At an early age, she was a very successful roller-skating champion until a car accident ended her career at fourteen years old. There was a painful and long rehabilitation period following, and she never completely recovered. It was not until four years later after graduating from high school that she decided to take a road trip and met a part-time model and waitress named Chrystal Lea Stevens who had also been a skating champion when younger. The two quickly bonded, and Chrystal decided to chase the gold again after a five-year hiatus--with Cashmere as her coach. They were astonished at how intrinsically difficult life could be when adulthood supervened. Together through hardships and joy, they pursued their dreams, which ended completely different from what they expected.
