She’s a single mom, a devoted daughter, and an Indy 500 hopeful daring to dream in an exhilarating and emotional novel about family, ambition, and second chances.
Mack Williams was the next big thing in motorsports. Until her wild ways forced her to leave racing in her rearview mirror. Ten years later, she’s a single mom in rural Indiana, with a struggling family business and a dad who needs full-time care. The fastest woman on four wheels now drives car pool, her dreams turned to dust.
But Mack’s childhood idol, Janet Joyner, still sees the spark. Famed for breaking gender barriers on the track, Janet gives Mack a last-ditch chance to qualify for the coveted Indy 500. Mack thought her days of impulsive choices were over, but she can’t say no, whatever the risks—moving in with her estranged sister, facing down her daughter’s absentee father, and working with Mack’s new teammate, Leo. He’s gorgeous, supportive, and every kind of distraction Mack can’t afford.
Juggling her personal life with a professional dream close within reach, Mack won’t let a second chance slip away again. Win or lose, the stakes have never been higher.

“This full-of-heart, quick-paced debut is a story I’ll never forget. It’s Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Atmosphere but for race car driving. But it’s more than a story about a brave pioneer. It’s about motherhood and compromise, passion and ambition, and what it means to feel alive and not just be alive. Like any great sports saga, it brings the tender, underdog pull of Ted Lasso to the gritty and greasy world of race cars. I could almost smell gas as I was reading."—Mary Adkins, author of When You Read This, Privilege, Palm Beach, and You Might Feel a Little Pressure
“Fast paced in every way, a page turner family drama set on the racetrack with a heroine you’ll never forget. It’s F1 meets Atmosphere. There’s adrenaline on every page but also a deep, moving family story woven throughout about healing and the sacrifices made by the ones we love to help us see the finish line.”—Kate Myers, bestselling author of Salty and Excavations, coming soon as a series on Peacock
