Meet Anika Martin. Runner, artist, introvert, orphan. Join her the night she runs away to her family’s remote Montana cabin, where she is determined to pick up the pieces and start over, if her vivid imagination doesn’t get the best of her. “Winners never quit” was Coach Wilson’s favorite refrain, and his runners couldn’t help but adopt it, at first jokingly, then whole-heartedly, as the idea worked its way deep into their perceptions of who they were and their rightful place in the world. Anika internalized the lesson well, and had plenty of blue, red, and white ribbons to show for it. But when she stepped off the track, her pet dragon of anxiety always persuaded her to play small and avoid risk, and she never felt like much of a winner. Internalizing the lesson more deeply would require unpleasant surprises to push her beyond her breaking point. This multi-layered plot will sweep you along from despair to triumph. From weakness to power. From fear to courage and all your fondest dreams coming impossibly true. And what about the new mysteries which she uncovers about her family history? What if the most pivotal moment of her past was a lie? Find Anika’s art and poetry at AnikaMart.in
