CBC Showcase: Fiction on the Edge
Seventeen-year-old Leah Weiczynkowski can't wait to tell her dad that she'll be playing soccer for the under-eighteen national team. Unfortunately, her dad has news that will change Leah's life forever.
by Julie Swanson
Going for the Record addresses Leah's passion for her sport, her love for her dying father, and her growing recognition of her father's faith and bravery. Loosely based on the author's own experience, Going for the Record is a coming-of-age story on a number of levels, as Leah must question everything that's mattered most to her and how she will define herself in the future.
