And now he wants Patty to run relay…where you have to depend on other people? How’s she going to do THAT? But can you ever really run away from any of this?Īs the stress builds, it’s building up a pretty bad attitude as well. And so Patty’s also running for her mom, who can’t. She runs from the reason WHY she’s not able to live with her “real” mom anymore: her mom has The Sugar, and Patty is terrified that the disease that took her mom’s legs will one day take her away forever. She runs for many reasons-to escape the taunts from the kids at the fancy-schmancy new school she’s been sent to ever since she and her little sister had to stop living with their mom. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves. This year she transferred to a new school where she has no friends. Her mother cannot run because she has no legs, so she lives with her aunt and uncle. Reviewer lovetoread26 wrote: Great book Patina (Patty) Jones is a runner by default.
