Get ready for the race of your life... This is what it feels like
when I'm running. When I'm running fast, I feel free. 12-year-old
Lili is determined to defeat her arch rival in front of the Queen
during her school's anniversary celebrations. Adopted from China as
a baby, Lili also has personal challenges to overcome, but when her
training is thrown into chaos by events outside her control, she
realises that she must choose between family and the race of her
life. Meanwhile in 1944, Eric Liddell, hero of the 1924 Olympics,
finds himself in a war zone. Separated from his family, he is
getting ready to run his final race in a prison camp in China when
his lifelong principles are challenged by the imprisoned children
he is trying to help... Praise for The Race 'Not your typical
happily ever after, Roy has written a wonderfully relatable and
inclusive tale, where all are welcome, and the beauty of sport
brings everyone together in the end. There are life lessons to be
learned in this inspiring story with friendship at its heart.'
