Bookroo's summary

Amy's knee is healed, but her confidence isn't. As the biggest race looms on the very track where she was injured, Amy must confront her fears. With unexpected support, can she reclaim her place on the team and her self-assurance? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking. Will Amy find the courage to race again, or will her doubts hold her back?

From the publisher

At the beginning of the track season, Amy hurt her knee during a race. Now her doctor has given her the okay to get back on the track, but Amy’s still shaky. Her knee may be healed, but her confidence is still broken. The biggest race of the year is coming up, and it’s on the exact same track where she was hurt before. With help from an unexpected source, will she be able to race again?
