Fifteen-year-old Baby finds herself in foster care in New Hampshire with a family who races sled dogs. Though she bonds with the dogs, she still takes off--bringing a puppy with her--when her boyfriend shows up. Baby's first-person narration modulates between tough-girl and little-girl. Monninger gives her the space to find beauty and confidence in the thrill of racing.
