Description
If you're gonna run for your life, you gotta wear the right shoes. Pre-teen shoe model Riley Mae laces up her flaming orange Sole Fire running shoes for another ad campaign--this time in Kenya, Africa! Kenya is the perfect place for runners to train, with its high elevation and encouragement from Olympic athletes. It's also a great hiding place for Riley and her Swiftriver friends from so-called enemies back in the United States ... but for how long? Adjusting to a new culture is difficult. Every chore is tiring, school is miles away, and there's always the threat of a lurking lion that can ruin everything. But after spending time with the children and Christian women in her friend Sunday's remote village, Riley finds herself growing stronger and praying for God to use her to spread the good news. Her prayers are answered in exciting and startling ways when she meets an orphaned girl seeking answers at a children's home, but also when an error in judgment causes her to stumble into a surprise meeting with the enemy.… (more)

Riley Mae continues as a Swiftriver shoe model while….the mystery/drama continues (that started in book #1) and they are all escaping a bad guy or two! So, now
Riley faces more danger and challenges, but has a truly amazing experience! This trip stretches and strengthens her physically as she is surprised how much work it is just to help with chores or to get to school (the cast on her arm doesn’t help either!). She also grows as a follower of Christ. She even wakes up at 4:45 a.m. (though not with much excitement at first!) to join the women of the village in their morning prayer meeting. Riley matures, develops a better understanding of contentment, a new appreciation of family, and even has a new purpose as she follows God’s leading.
Enjoy!
