March CSR Feature: Running Far Afield by Libby Drew


This month is the beginning of the spring Sports season at high school (ask me how I know, track mom here!). How many of you remember playing sports in high school? Man, I was a disaster in softball, hence my my kids did/do track, lol! So I thought I'd share a story to bring back the nostalgia of the season for myself, and others, with Libby Drew's story Running Far Afield. 

Running Far Afield

by @Libby Drew

Length: 15,560

Description: Aaron thought nothing would be different in his new town of Ridgton. Instead, nothing is the same. When he meets Chris, he finds not only a fellow baseball player, but a close friend – one who gives him the courage to explore the things about himself he's been hiding.

A Reader said:  Running Far Afield is a fantastic afternoon read. Two teenage boys discover each other in an unlikely setting and over a period of 6 weeks develop a bond that lifts them up but does not please everyone around them. 

This is a fabulous story, well worth the hour it will take to read. ~Doha

It’s a beautiful, timeless, read.  Over ten years old and yet could have been written yesterday.  I love the way Aaron deals with his father…… No more hints,
