A Tutsi boy runs because he must, then runs because he can, finally runs because it's the only way to stay alive. Benaron sets this story against Rwanda's thousand hills and mounting tensions with the steady pace of someone who knows exactly where this is going. The Olympic dream dissolves into something more urgent: the dream of seeing tomorrow. For readers who understand how quickly the world can turn against you, how sports becomes both escape and preparation for realities no athlete should face.
