Om denne bog

''A sophisticated debut that will capture the racing hearts of its readers.'' - Sue Orr, Loop Tracks

''Josie Shapiro''s accomplished debut novel has the compulsive forward motion of a world-class race. You don''t have to be a runner to get the high, just read this book!" - Kirsten McDougall, She''s a Killer

Mickey Bloom: five foot tall, dyslexic, and bullied at school. Mickey knows she''s nothing special. Until one day, she discovers running.


Mickey''s new-found talent makes her realise she''s everything she thought she wasn''t - powerful, strong and special. But her success comes at a cost, and the relentless training and pressure to win leaves Mickey broken, her dream in tatters.


Years later, when Mickey is working in a dead-end job with a drop-kick boyfriend, her mother becomes seriously ill. After nursing her, Mickey realises the only way she can overcome her grief - and find herself - is to run again.


A chance encounter with a stranger sees Mickey re-ignite her dreams. The two women form an unbreakable bond, as Mickey is shown what it means to run in the right direction.


An unforgettable debut novel about change, family and grit, and what it takes to achieve your dreams.
