Description

Patina “Patty” Jones is new to the track team, but her real race isn’t just against the clock—it’s against the doubts, grief, and pressure she carries every day. As she trains and competes, she’s forced to confront the personal demons that keep slowing her down, even when her legs are ready to fly. With the help of family and teammates, Patty learns what it means to trust others, accept support, and turn vulnerability into momentum. Blending fast-paced realism with an emotionally resonant voice, this novel explores belonging, resilience, and the transformative power of community.
