Despite knowing Dad for the longest time, Dad is but a stranger to him. James cannot understand why Dad only loves his younger brother, Matt. James’ only dream is gain Dad’s love. He boldly sets his young heart to attaining his dream. Not by escaping into sleep, but by running. You see, Dad used to win every race when he was James’ age.
