After the sudden death of her father, a woman with a congenital heart defect turns her life upside down to train for a stage of the Tour de France.

Born with Pulmonary Atresia, 29 year-old AMY has always lived a cautious life. She's never left her hometown, is engaged to her high school sweetheart JACOB, and visits her devoted single father, an avid cyclist and owner of the local bike shop, on a regular basis. After receiving a poor result on her annual cardiac stress test, coupled with the unexpected death of her father, Amy's reliable world is shattered. In the wake of her father's death, Amy seeks comfort by stopping at her father's bike shop. The shop manager LUCAS, who knew her father well, agrees to Amy's request that he help her train to ride the L'Etape du Tour, a stage of the Tour du France her dad had intended to ride. Amy will ride the stage with Lucas in her father's place. Throughout the story, Amy's health problems cause her to question what she wants in life and whether or not she can give Jacob the life he dreams of.—Julia Coulter
