She runs her own race. An expansive, inspiring feminist novel about one woman's rise as a racing driver in mid-century Britain.
VE Day, 1945.
Winifred 'Freddy' Vaux fears she's the only person in the country who isn't thrilled the war is over. All she loves to do is drive. While she's still allowed behind the wheel, it will not be her occupation, not for her country and certainly not fast. A bet with the charming Verne Dawson-Hayes seals her fate: racing him through the deserted streets of London she knows she will pursue race car driving and her impulsive feelings towards him.
As Freddy's star as a driver rises, her relationship with Verne buckles under the pressure. Freddy's journey will take her from the provincial streets of her youth to the most glamorous, exhilarating roads of Europe.
This is a story of finding and losing love, seeking freedom and one woman's thunderous ambition.
