U Lorena Kholla ili prosto Rena kucha problem: yego sem'ya pereyekhala iz goroda v staryy babushkin dom, luchshiy drug zavodit krutuyu kompaniyu, v kotoruyu Ren kategoricheski ne vpisyvayetsya, a trenirovki po begu, kotoryye tak raduyut ottsa Rena, byvshego trenera po krossu, sovsem ne raduyut samogo mal'chika. A tut yeshche i golubi nad sosedskim domom stranno sebya vedut - vzmyvayut vverkh i kamnem brosayutsya na zemlyu, v posledniy moment delaya kuvyrok. Okazyvayetsya, eto ne prostyye golubi, a birmingemskiye rollery. Novaya sosedka Rena, Satton, treniruyet ikh dlya sorevnovaniy. Iz lyubopytstva i radi vozmozhnosti uvil'nut' ot probezhek Ren vse chashche naveshchayet golubyatnyu i postepenno otkryvayet dlya sebya novoye zakhvatyvayushcheye uvlecheniye. No kak skazat' pape, chto predpochitayesh' golubey marafonu? I poluchitsya li sokhranit' staruyu druzhbu? Eta kniga - napominaniye o tom, kak vazhno prislushivat'sya k sebe. O smelosti nayti svoy sobstvennyy put', dazhe yesli on ne sovpadayet s ozhidaniyami drugikh. I o tom, kak v neozhidannykh mestakh mozhno obresti nastoyashchikh druzey.
