For high school junior and Olympic running hopeful Dera, the worst part about having to move in with her father is that her new school does not have a girls’ track team. Dera runs on the boys’ team instead -- but she faces rejection, harassment, and racism (she’s Nigerian American). Dera’s eventual success -- making a place for herself on the team and finding friends, romance, and even a relationship with her aloof dad -- is satisfying and well earned.
