Description
In the heart of 1960s Clarksville, Tennessee, a town divided by segregation, young Alta dreams of speed and the triumphant return of Olympic champion Wilma Rudolph. Despite her family's financial struggles, which mean worn-out shoes instead of new sneakers, Alta is determined to witness history firsthand. This is a story about the power of dreams, the resilience of the human spirit, and the inspiration found in overcoming obstacles, both personal and societal. It captures the vibrant spirit of a community and the enduring hope that propels a young girl forward.
