Addie has always known what she was running toward. In cross country, in life, in love. Until she and her boyfriend her sensitive, good-guy boyfriend are careless one night and she ends up pregnant. Addie makes the difficult choice to have an abortion. And after that even though she knows it was the right decision for her nothing is the same anymore. She doesn t want anyone besides her parents and her boyfriend to know what happened; she doesn t want to run cross country; she can t bring herself to be excited about anything. Until she reconnects with Juliana, a former teammate who s going through her own dark places.
