A fearless debut novel about a womens cross country team and how far girls will push themselves to control their bodies, friendships, and futures. We loved running because it was who we were, who wed been in high school, who we hoped to be in futures we couldnt yet imagine. Strong and fast. Fast and strong. At Frost, a small liberal arts college in Massachusetts, the runners on the womens cross country team have their sights set on the 1992 New England Division Three Championships and will push themselves through every punishing workout and skipped meal to achieve their goal. But Kristin, the teams star, is hiding a secret about what happened over the summer, and her unpredictable behavior jeopardizes the girls chance to win. Team Captain Danielle is convinced she can restore Kristins confidence, even if it means burying her own past. As the final meet approaches, Kristin, Danielle, and the rest of the girls must transcend their individual circumstances and run the race as a team. Told from the perspective of the six fastest team members, We Loved to Run deftly illuminates the impossible standards young women set for themselves in spite of their own powerlessness. With startling honesty and boundless empathy, Stephanie Reents reveals how girls--even those in competition--find ways to love and defend one another.
