Running cross-country becomes a way for Bennett to make new friends and begin to get into shape--both desirable objectives after his morbidly obese father suffers a stroke. On this journey of reinvention, however, he finds himself estranged from his best friend. The well-written story is realistic and inspiring; readers will root for Bennett.
