Joey McNeal is a Philly kid through and through. With a wild mop of
curly hair and an uncommon thirst for competition, Mac is known to
keep his car trunk full of sports equipment, ready for any pickup
game. But McNeal's true passion is running. Joey Mac is the fastest
guy in town, but a slate of injuries stopped him short of greatness
at what would have been the peak of his career. Now, about to turn
thirty, McNeal starts to wonder What if? What if he put everything
he had into training? What if he had a great coach? What if he
could run faster than he ever had before? What if he could silence
a lingering unfulfilled dream? But McNeal has two jobs, little time
or money, and only the support of his closest friends. Even they
don't know that Mac secretly dreams of competing on the highest
athletic stage: the Olympics. Phil Reilly's debut faithfully
depicts a runner's life in Philadelphia--from Kelly Drive to
Pennypack Park to the icy winter streets of the Northeast--as
McNeal gives his running career one more shot. This searing pursuit
reveals the sacrifices that passions require and the limits that
are made to be broken.
