Some of my favorite books to read are non-fiction books about events that I am not up to speed on.
Fire on the Track by Roseanne Montillo is one of them! It centers on women running track in the late 2's, early 30s. Most people did not even think women should be running at all! Three women are the main focus: Betty Robinson, Babe Dickerson and Stella Walsh. I enjoyed this whole book, especially the part that is about the Olympic games in Germany with Hitler watching!
Teaser from page 12:
Had she ever been timed? Price asked. Had anyone ever used a stopwatch to see how fast she could run?
(Gerard's review, 5 stars)
