A Personal Drama of Shattered Dreams and Second Chances
A talented runner fully committed to Olympic dreams, Sabrina Rice’s
future was shattered by a devastating diagnosis. One forfeited
scholarship and several years later, she has new goals and dreams
that have nothing to do with running--something that’s become far
too painful to think on.
Until the day she sees Brandy Philip running across the community
college campus, easily outpacing security. Sabrina immediately
recognizes world-class speed, and it’s all the more painful that it
belongs to a teenage graffiti artist. When a chance encounter
brings the two young women together, Sabrina becomes Brandy’s best
hope for staying out of juvenile hall. Soon, Sabrina begins to feel
an uncomfortable nudge that her new life is just about to be
toppled...that God may be calling her to minister to this talented
but troubled girl.
