"The Running Dream" by Wendelin Van Draanen

I absolutely loved this book! I am not a runner, in fact, I never even liked jogging, but I loved every sentence in this book. It is so well written, you can visualize and sense what the writer is describing. The Running Dream is about a teenage runner who loses a leg in a freak accident. It is a story of her determination, grit, and ability to dream big no matter the odds. Jessica is an extraordinary character, and the story is truly inspirational for so many reason. Please do not pass by this title. Read it and have your friends read it. If you are depressed, unhappy with your life, or feel you've been dealt an unfair hand, read this story. You will see your circumstances in a different light. Difficulties CAN be seen as opportunities for growth in strength, love and compassion. A truly amazing read!
