Description
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.
Run Home by Alyssa Bermudez is a touching story about resilience, friendship, and finding your stride in the face of life's challenges.
