A Skate Odyssey: The Rise and Fall of an American Family

By Dennis Hinton

This memoir is about an incredible skating family that started with Iley and Marie Hinton, two extraordinary visionaries within the skating community. They birthed a lifelong love, four children, eight grandchildren, but also opened their arms and lives to so many. This book is a rare and intimate glimpse of their struggles and achievements, and their abiding love for their family. Dennis “Deserio” Hinton invites his readers on an odyssey to uncover personal stories of growing up under the watchful eyes and generous hearts of his family. His experiences give a raw peek into an iconic skating era that spanned decades, and of their family that started over 50 years ago. This bittersweet collection of milestones helped to shape Dennis and his iconic family, and the thousands of lives that grew up within the walls of Skate Odyssey. As the story reminds us, the Hintons were brought together by destiny, passing on lessons in hard work, dedication and love of skating.
