Eloise convinces her best friend, Minnie (struggling ever since a painful divorce) to join her in yet another athletic endeavor. Not naturally athletic, Eloise defiantly resists. But impish Grandma and forthright Mom help nudge her along, and an unsuspecting Dr. X provides the impetus for her to persevere. Winning is not simply about race paces or medals or anyone else's standards, and sometimes your most powerful life revelations are unearthed with help from those you least expect.
