Description
Anna Logan is left behind. Abandoned by her mother and her over-achieving best friend Margo, her coping mechanism is to succeed in everything. Anna's sense of reality is warped in her mad quest to quench the sadness and hatred for herself. Anna discovers running as a way to move from behind the shadow of uber-girl Margo. Her story is riddled with unexpected joy; friendship with the seemingly unapproachably unique Esmé and resident boy-next door, Brock. Her story is riddled with unexpected; harrowing grief after a tragic accident and an unfixable family, shattered by adultery. In a story as much about being left behind as leaving, Anna deals with pain: of betrayal, death, failure, and the success she always dreamed. Except that success may not be what she is searching for. "No matter what, you always have to leave part of yourself behind."
