The Girl Who Loved To Run is a lyrically written love story full of heartache and heroism, mystery and romance. This poignant tale is set primarily in the Kanawha Valley of West Virginia, in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. It begins in the 1950s. Greg Benner is 10 years old when he meets Beth Olsen and her brother Jack, and the three forge a friendship that will last a lifetime. Benner falls instantly in love with Beth, but he is never quite sure of her love for him. Their budding relationship is set against a backdrop of tension and suspense: Someone is setting explosions in the chemical plants surrounding their small town of Mayville and putting lives at risk. A personal tragedy ensues and the three comrades set out to find the bomber before their peaceful hamlet is destroyed. The mystery unfolds, and there is deep suspense as well as lighthearted fun as their oddball group of friends keeps them laughing from one misadventure to the next. A new set of challenges awaits them as they head off to college and careers in Washington D. C., where the Kennedys have come to the White House. Ultimately, Greg, Beth and Jack are swept up in events that will lead them into the war in Vietnam.
