A state cross-country championship dream collides with a painful truth in 1970s Long Island...
In the quiet bayside town of Bellport, New York, the legendary cross-country team from St. Theresa High School is chasing a state championship, for which they are among the favorites to win. Under the iron will of Coach Jack Hogan, not to mention the inspiration of the team mascot, Chief Sitting Bull himself, these runners know the thrill of victory, the pain of pushing their limits, and the bond of friendship forged through miles of trails.
For captain Dennis Hurley and his two teammates, however, their lives fall victim to a harrowing late summer incident that makes their final year more than a race for glory: it's a race against the past. Now haunted by what they've sworn to hide, and even as the crisp autumn cross-country season gets underway, the three boys must balance the pressures of their difficult situation with the weight of their conscience. Will they last through a season of high-powered invitational races? Will they fight like hell each week to cross the finish line, their heads held high? Will they survive?
Perfect for fans of sports fiction, coming-of-age, and mystery thrillers, Pat J Daly's Sitting Bull Run captures both the raw emotion of competition as well as the shadows that can linger long after the race is run.
"Sitting Bull Run convincingly conveys [a] world...populated equally by privileged old families, power-hungry religious figures, working-class fishermen, and disaffected soldiers discharged from the war in Vietnam. The boys on the team feel the roundest and realest, given vivid physical descriptions ('short torso and long legs and arms that always seemed to be swatting mosquitoes'), nicknames that can fit just as well for mobsters (Fenny, Legs, Bobby Mumbles)...an adventurous dynamic that evokes the mythic American boyhoods of Stephen King stories."
