Amidst the high-altitude training grounds and cultural shifts, she finds strength and purpose.

Can she navigate this new world and uncover the truth before it's too late?
If you’re gonna run for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes.Pre-teen shoe model Riley Mae laces up her flaming orange Sole Fire running shoes for another ad campaign–this time in Kenya, Africa! Kenya is the perfect place for runners to train, with its high elevation and encouragement from Olympic athletes. It’s also a great hiding place for Riley and her Swiftriver friends from so-called enemies back in the United States … but for how long? Adjusting to a new culture is difficult. Every chore is tiring, school is miles away, and there’s always the threat of a lurking lion that can ruin everything. But after spending time with the children and Christian women in her friend Sunday’s remote village, Riley finds herself growing stronger and praying for God to use her to spread the good news. Her prayers are answered in exciting and startling ways when she meets an orphaned girl seeking answers at a children’s home, but also when an error in judgment causes her to stumble into a surprise meeting with the enemy.
