This story, based on true events, opens in 1958. A young farm girl, Kelly Brown, is the water girl for the boys’ track team. She desperately wants to compete. However, girls were not welcomed on the boys teams’. At the last track meet of the season, she finally got her courage up, signing up for the fall cross-country team. Ridicule, humiliation, and bullying faced her. But as the summer began, she found an injured, abandoned dog near her farm. Her parents wouldn’t let her have a dog, so she kept it hidden in the barn. She nursed the dog back to health, and they became inseparable. Kelly trained all summer for the upcoming running season. Shadow, the dog, gave her the strength and confidence she needed. When summer ended and Kelly headed back to school, the bullying and taunting began all over again. After a disappointing season filled with failure and frustration, Kelly’s confidence in herself was gone. All seemed lost. But at the last race of the season, the state championship, an unbelievable series of events changes Kelly’s life forever. <\/p>\n
