Summary: Sixteen-year-old Leo Coughlin’s life is increasingly stressful because his autistic older brother Caleb’s behavior is becoming more bizarre and even violent, and their parents’ marriage is falling apart—but Leo finds an escape in long-distance running, and in two new friends: Curtis, himself a potential state champion who teaches him the strategy of running, and Mary, his would-be girlfriend.
