In 1957, a runaway teen searches for her real father on the midwest dirt-track circuit just before the first national Championship race.
It’s summer 1957, and when 14-year-old Sandy Turner goes missing—along with one of her late mother’s hidden scrapbooks—Aunt Maggie can think of only one place the girl might be. Frank Haggard, the race-car driver in those yellowing news clippings, assumes the girl claiming to be his daughter is a fan acting on a dare, until her aunt Maggie tracks them down. Memories of his annulled marriage to Maggie’s sister flood over him, and the timing couldn’t be worse.
With the first-ever National Championship for stock cars a week away, the last thing he needs is a child-custody battle with Maggie—as determined as she is beautiful. When the car he’s planned to pilot is turned over to a younger driver, Frank and Maggie make the riskiest deal of their lives—her savings for a race car, but if Frank wins, he gives up his daughter.

Trophy Girl is a fast-paced, entertaining read, but it comes with complex characters and an unpredictable plot.

I found myself trackside, sitting next to Sandy, hearing the squeal of tires, the smell of rubber and the roar of engines. A fun read, whether you’re a racing fan or not.
