Sprint Dreams, announced to release June 1, 2020, is a story of self-love and perseverance. Eighteen-year-old Makeda Delane is determined to compete with the best of collegiate track and field. However, a move from the comfort of her inner city historically black university to a rural university leaves the Jamaican-American athlete in an emotional mess. If Makeda does not get a hold of her careless decisions, her All-American dreams will be in jeopardy. This novel is one of few stories that accurately intersects the experience of student-athletes, queer students and Caribbean-American students. Readers will follow a character who not only grows in the sport but in the healthy and unhealthy relationships she forms along the way.
Fans of Track Series by Jason Reynolds, Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell will love these flawed yet relatable characters.
