Find yourself. Find your place. Find your brave.

This uplifting tale, which award-winning author Leslie

Connor dubbed “a perfectly paced journey of the heart” is perfect for fans of

Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.

Cyrus Olson’s dad is a hero—Northfield’s former

football star and now one of their finest firefighters. Everyone expects Cyrus to follow in his dad’s

record-breaking footsteps, and he wishes they were right—except he’s never been

brave like that. But this year, with the help of a stray dog, a few new friends,

a little bit of rhythm, and a lot of nerve, he may just discover that

actually…he is.

Lauded as “remarkable” by the New York Times Book Review, Lindsey Stoddard’s heartfelt stories continue

to garner critical acclaim, and her latest novel will have fans new and old rooting

for Cyrus and Parker’s special bond and the courage it helps them both to find.
