Ich habe nur ein wenig grammatisch verbessert. Man kann sicher noch einiges verbessern.

Meine Ideen:
The main characteri n the English novel ?Black Lightning? by Andrew Monrow, Katherine, is on search for a good runner for the team Canada of the Olympic Games in Vancouver because her boss has dreamt of it.

Katherine, Nickname Kathy (p.5), is a marketing expert at Skyshoes and the personal assistant of Simon Swartz, the boss of Skyshoes. (p.5, p.8 )
Besides she is single, live in an apartment in Vancouver, Canada (p.98 ) and have a car (p.16).

Because of that she gives notice to Skyshoes at the end of the novel. (p.97)
She is courageous because she hit Marcus on his thick neck, as he wanted to steal her car, although he is stronger and taller than she is. (p.16) She follows him, too.
