Plot summaryFor thirteen-year-old Kelly, running is like running away from the anger and the pain - it lets her forget, at least for a few miles a day, just how much she hurts. But when she is invited to join the junior high track team, Kelly's father dashes her hopes with a blunt "No". Kelly knows there is little she can say to change his mind. In fact, she is afraid of saying anything at all. Kelly lives in fear of her father. He could be nice for days, then lash out in frightening violence. While her mother and sister will do anything to keep the peace, Kelly refuses to pretend that nothing is wrong. Then suddenly, miracously, Kelly is freed from her father's unpredictable rage. But now she feels trapped in a life filled with anger and violence of her own. DevelopmentAfter quitting her job at CBS, Linda Woolverton began to work as a substitute teacher when writing Running Before the Wind. In that time, she had already written a novel, Star Wind, which was published one year earlier than Running Before the Wind also by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.[2] LegacyWas with Running Before the Wind that Linda Woolverton got the job of screenwriter of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. She took a copy of the book to the studio, which ended up being read by Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, who then called her for an interview.[2][3] Reviews
