A new school, a running team, and family change

Set in 2002, Alyssa Bermudez’s graphic memoir brings together the upheaval of starting high school, joining a cross-country team, and adjusting to a new stepfamily. Running begins as an unwelcome obligation, then becomes part of Alyssa’s changing routine as she finds her footing among teammates and at school. The account also turns toward her father’s illness and the support she draws from friends, family, and herself. Its memoir form places everyday adolescent transitions alongside a family crisis, with running serving as a recurring thread through both.

Book overview

This heartrending graphic memoir by Alyssa Bermudez (Big Apple Diaries) is a moving and unforgettable story about inner strength, healing, and finding hope.

It's 2002, and 14-year-old Alyssa is a freshman at a new high school where she knows NO ONE and the uniforms are hideous! What a disaster...

Even worse? Her parents are forcing her to join the cross-country team. No one needs to run, or sweat, this much!

Over time though, Alyssa actually starts to like running. She's getting better with practice, and some of the girls on the team are really nice. Alyssa begins to find a steady rhythm with high school, cross country, and her new stepfamily.

But Alyssa's dad is sick, and she doesn't know what to do. When the worst thing imaginable happens, Alyssa will need to count on her friends, family, and herself to keep running forward.
