In "I Was Afraid of Love," two rival racers, Florence and Janice, find their friendship tested when both vie for the affection of driver Jack. When a crash during a race leaves Janice injured, old tensions flare—especially after she sees Jack with Florence. The truth behind Jack’s actions slowly unfolds, revealing a quiet plan to protect Janice’s place in the sport. A heartfelt moment of reconciliation follows, grounded in honesty and trust. The story, illustrated by the Iger Shop, captures the emotional stakes of competition and connection in a 1952 world of midget racers and quiet heartbreaks.
