Running with the Gods - Paperback

by Sharen Pittman (Author)

Finally winning her place in a once in a lifetime race around the world, Liliana thinks she's got it in the bag before she even meets her competition and her unknown partner of the opposite sex. This race could give her a Level promotion and all the advantages associated with it. In this world, the race is her only means to a better life. Then, on the eve of her lifelong desire to run The Race, Lily discovers her beloved younger brother has inherited a genetic heart defect that could end his life prematurely. They are only a Level 3 family with no access to the healthcare her brother desperately needs. The Race is not only about her anymore but now the only means of securing help and hope for her brother's life. As the race progresses, she realizes her lifelong training did not prepare her for the beauty, wonder, excitement and danger she encounters along the way. She must push herself to not only try to win the race but also fight for her life by dealing with her own strengths, her own weaknesses, the new found longings of her heart as she more deeply comes to know her very complex, god-like "specialist" partner and the murderous challenges of the high-level competition.
