"Come on Betty....Can't nobody stop us from winning, 'cause we fish. I want you to swim....You and me, the first black girls going to the Olympics."For Betty, winning now means swimming upward from the depths of near-death. In the cold hum of the hospital only Keisha can remember their dreams from earlier that summer, when she was to attend a premed vacation school at nearby Avery University. Keisha dreamed of being a doctor. Betty dreamed desperately of having a friend. They were both at risk -- at least that's the label Keisha gets slapped with when, instead of Avery, she is sent to an urban rescue program for teens in poverty, or, as she figures it, born in sin. She is outraged, but she turns anger into something much more powerful -- the will to prove her doubters wrong. For this she has friends, family, and one ally especially -- Malik, Betty's watchful brother, who wants beauty to be there for everyone. Keisha's story is part drama, part victory lap,...and all heart.
