Descrizione
Set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, this novel follows the trials and triumphs of the Canadian Women's Track and Field Team. As they embark on their journey to compete on a global stage, the athletes grapple with societal expectations, personal struggles, and the fierce desire to prove their worth in a sport long dominated by men. Each character brings her own story to the table, highlighting their resilience, determination, and the bond that forms among them as they face both external challenges and inner doubts.

With every race and jump, they push against the barriers that limit them, striving for recognition and respect in a world that often overlooks their contributions. The narrative beautifully encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and the fight for equality, making it a poignant reflection on the journey of women in sports.
