Rides That Way
by Susan Ketchen
Five
minutes. That's all it takes for Sylvia to fulfill a life's ambition and
simultaneously blast fracture lines through her most important relationships. Sylvia,
fourteen, rides her horse in a cross-country competition, proving herself as an
athlete, despite being an undeveloped shrimp with Turner Syndrome.
Unfortunately,
her coach is furious that Sylvia rode too fast, and her cousin considers her
irresponsible. Her mother would prefer that Sylvia focus on her health, start
hormone treatment and develop like normal girls.
Sylvia
is not ready for an estrogen transformation, but her triumphant athlete image
does not transfer to school, where she is still a peculiar small person.
Increasingly isolated, Sylvia dares to change, emerging with deeper
self-confidence and broadened horizons.
Biography
