This was such an informative and inspiring read about these two runners from Kenya and their journey to US citizenship by means of D1 college scholarships and the US Army World Class Athlete Program.
It was an insightful look into the success of Kenya's system for developing runners; a look into how they train and the uniquop hardships they endure.
Author Johanna Garton brings their story to life with her gift for storytelling. Along the way, she opens our eyes to their unique struggles because of their race/origin and also the inequities and unique challenges of women athletes in America.
Thank you to NetGalley for this advance copy.

I’ve read a lot of books about runners and their journeys. But this one was really interesting learning about their lives before coming to the US and how they came to live stay. Well written, nice story.
