Heartbeat is the story of 12 year old Annie, who loves to run for the shear pleasure of running. It's when she feels the most free in year when everything seems to be shifting. Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is aging, and her best friend, Max, is increasingly moody. Everything is changing, just like the apple that Annie has been assigned to draw one hundred times.
The story is written in free verse. Annie is attempting to understand not only herself, and her place in the family, but also to understand those around her. How do we become who we are? To what degree should we conform? How are we unique, and yet alike?
