In this moving new novel by award winning author Edward McClelland, a slight midwestern youth deals with a rough high school and a vanishing factory town through a devotion to his running sport and his caring family. Aided by a spunky girlfriend, a humble-wise coach, loyal teammates, and his earned self-awareness, he learns the value of resilience and home."Edward McClelland's RUNNING FOR HOME is a deeply moving coming-of-age story with a distinct, refreshing authenticity. This sympathetic portrait of a young man trying to find his way in a working-class town after the factory closes has no easy Hollywood resolution (which often involves the main character running from home as if escape is victory). McClelland's story rings true with the authority and complexity of an insider's perspective. We immediately know where we are and who's talking to us, and that we won't be getting any bull from this narrator. A tight, powerful story crafted by a brilliant prose writer." Jim Daniels, author of Middle Ages: Poems
