The Wind Beneath Her Feet

The Wind Beneath Her Feet is an inspiring and emotional novel based on the true story of Wilma Rudolph & her spirit of triumph against all odds. Set in the American South during the 1940s–1960s, the story follows Celeste May Jefferson, a young African American girl from Clarksville, Tennessee, who survives polio only to be told she’ll never walk again. But with her mother’s unshakeable faith and her own fierce spirit, Celeste not only learns to walk — she learns to run like the wind.
