Description
The basis for the major motion picture 1 Mile to You
Refreshing...Reminds us that whether we run, play football, sing or write, we need to find the joy in what we do.--Chicago Sun-Times
In eighth grade Kevin Schuler is a popular kid with a decent, if not stellar, record on the track. Yet after fate takes him off a bus that crashes and kills his fellow students, including his girlfriend, Kevin inexplicably becomes a track phenomenon. Separated from his memory and distanced from his own life, he effortlessly smashes records and gains national attention, until he finds that he can no more remain apart from himself than he can from the ground beneath his feet.
