In the
Running Dream, high-school track star Jessica loses one of her legs and must adjust to her situation. This story seems very real. This is partly because of the detailed moving explanation of the physical recovery process after amputation. The story also seems genuine because Jessica's feelings are understandable and all the characters are believable. The writing is poetic, readable, and engaging. I'd recommend this book to readers who are interested in sports-themed or inspiring books.
