		Ashford comes across as rather passive and biddable off the track but totally different in competition: a day after miscarrying, she won an important race and later (1984) earned a gold medal despite a massively torn muscle.
		Grade 5-8-- Connolly recounts the nine years she worked with Evelyn Ashford prior to the sprinter's winning two gold medals for the U. in the 1984 Olympics.
		The result is artificial dialogue and important issues that seem to spring from nowhere (e.g., Ashford's seemingly abrupt accusations of racism on her white coach's part) and are then left unresolved.
