GOOD REVIEWS discussion

This is the blurb on the cover: The world contrives against a boy named Ron Campbell. His legs are mangled in a wreck and paralyzed. The people he loves die. His remaining relatives hate him. Only his indomitable spirit sustains him – he will attempt every obstacle, face every danger, and answer every challenge to pursue his impossible dream of Olympic marathon champion. But nothing can prepare him for what awaits. An epic journey of endurance lays ahead where he will learn that a true friend, whether animal or human, is the real prize of the world, and the mystical power of the spirit can work miracles.

This is something about me: Richard Ferguson ran for the University of Texas. He has written for the Stars and Stripes in Europe, covered sports for the Houston Chronicle, and penned a column for Runner Triathlete News Magazine for years. His critically-acclaimed novel, Oiorpata (The Thriller), made the best-seller list of Amazon, and his most recent novel, Blue’s Point, was chosen to be featured in Kirkus Reviews Magazine. Richard has now used his experience from a lifetime of training, running, winning, and placing in races from the half-mile to 50K in his new novel, Spirit Runner.
