Hangin' On: Struggling in life and the Peloton

Hangin' On: Struggling in life and the Peloton Review



We all continue to grow throughout our lives, or at least, we try to do so. The growth and growing pains of adulthood are identifiable in Hollinger's Hangin' On. Bike racer or not, readers will empathize with Jerry, Anne, Robert and the rest of the characters.In bicycle racing and life in general, heroic and tragic efforts are often overlooked, because the order at the finish line receives the most, if not all, of the recognition. What goes on between the starting line and finish line is still only part of what it takes to complete the plot. What happens after crossing one finish line and the next starting line is where our heroic and tragic moments happen the most in both the real world and in bike racing.One need not be a cyclist on the roads crossing the Texas prairie or a white collar professional in a big city to identify with the characters of Hangin On, because those who are passionate about anyone or anything will feel it. But be prepared Hollinger subtly gives a wake up call, and what you saw in the mirror before Hangin On may not be same after.Christian WilliamsEditorTexas Racing Postwww.texasracingpost.com

Becky has always lived with her family in a log cabin in the Yukon, but when the fur market dwindled away, her father, a dog musher and trapper, had to quit trapping and she and her family moved into town. Now her father is depressed: he doesn’t laugh or talk to anyone. He tires easily and can’t stand any noise or stress. Worse, he has lost interest in sled racing — a love that he and Becky once shared. When spring comes, the family decides to go back to their cabin for the summer. Becky’s mother hopes that going back to the mountains will cheer up Dad, but Becky has another plan. She’s going to train her own dog team to race in the Junior Quest, a challenging five-day dog race across Alaska, in hopes of making her father happy.

The journey to the cabin will be a test for both Becky and her dogs. Will they make it to the cabin before the ice breaks? Will her mother give up on her father if he doesn't get better soon? And will her parents discover the secret that she has been keeping from them?
