Heartbreak pushes one Hawaiian girl to find her strongest self in this
authentic and emotional story of personal transformation that's perfect
for fans of The Running Dream.
When Miho's boyfriend breaks up with her without warning, all she can
see is red--the color of blinding fury and pain, and the color of the
fire she sets in an oil drum on the beach, burning every scrap of their
memories.
It's spring of senior year in Oahu, and while her friends are getting
ready for college, Miho's deep in her misery, delivering pizzas on her
bike. But then inspiration strikes: she'll do a triathlon. The training
is brutal for a girl who has never even run a mile--though she can bike
and swim. With the constant support of her friends and her dad, Miho
digs deep to find just how fierce her determination is and how many
obstacles she can overcome.
Acclaimed author Tara Wilson Redd explores the intersections of race and
class, and heartbreak and hope, with authentic honesty.
