Fast for My Feet (Hardcover)

Lena's nineteen-year-old brother Jordan has become someone else since he developed schizophrenia, and she's not sure she likes him. And yet she hurts deeply when others don't understand. Dealing with peers is hard enough, but adults can be even worse as they seek to blame and explain Jordan's changes. Luckily there's Andy, whose enthusiasm for life helps sort out some of the situations that keep arising. Then suddenly Andy isn't the faithful friend she thought he was: he's going to the grade 12 grad, but not with her. Running is Lena's only escape. If only it wasn't so hard to breathe. Finding wisdom, resilience and acceptance can be life-long quests, but Lena needs them right now. Pushed to her limits physically and emotionally, Lena learns how far, and how fast, she is willing to go for the brother she realizes she still loves.
