Like the Wind: A Native Alaskan Runner's Road to Victory

By Jonas Lindgren

Adopted by a middle-class white family, Erik, an Alaska Native, grows up with no knowledge of his biological parents. His life takes on a new dimension when he is contacted by Elsie, a native Elder, who takes him under her wings. Erik's universe suddenly crumbles when he learns that his adoptive parents can only afford to send one child to university: their biological daughter, even though Erik is by far the better student.

Providentially, a path to a scholarship opens up if he can win a grueling hundred-mile running race. Having a unique gift for running, will Erik be up to the challenge?
