This was a fascinating account of Emily Halnon's record-breaking run across the Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail, but it is so much more. She did the run in honor of her mother, who had recently died from a rare cancer, so the narrative goes back and forth between the actual run and the progression of her mother's disease. Such a very sad story, but full of resilience, too.

Emily Halnon narrated her book, and it was perfect listening for my husband and me on the drive home from vacation, coincidentally across Oregon and Washington, Ashland to Seattle.
