Meet the Runner. In a past life, Kennedy sprinted laps around the local track and took long, leisurely jogs through her neighborhood. At Geneva Grace College, she runs to escape the truth. Her truth. A former star and high school standout, Kennedy is now a lowly first-year college student, harshly humbled by her new surroundings. Classes, team politics, and even new friendships are difficult to pace, let alone master. Initially, she grins and bears it—mostly because that is what the ultra-conservative college leadership encourages. “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” …Besides, the new obstacles give Kennedy something to focus on other than the cute girls sitting in her lectures, sporting spandex at practice, and moving in right down the hall. Experiencing their own versions of college life are the other Pleiades. To challenge Kennedy is the sagely roommate: Laurel. To tempt her, the devious playmate: Becca. And in a parallel quest of self-discovery is the injured soulmate: Torry. These women and their surrounding circles will grow, adapt, live and love on a campus that rewards conformity, and during a time that doesn’t realize that revolution is just around the corner.
