Eva and Angela married brothers who were adventurers and who died because of an accident. Both ladies were having a hard time getting through their grief when Eva gets a phone call from an ultra marathon race director asking about her husband's entry and the remaining entry fee for the team. Angela used to run quite a bit when she was younger, before children, and Eva thought that they should compete in honor of their husbands, along with the third member of the team, Marc--once the business partner of Eva's husband.
Sherry is Eva's and Angela's mother-in-law and is the voice of wisdom for both girls and encourages them to find the joy of living, and not to depend on happiness. She also encourages them to find their relationship with God again.
Lindsay's writing style is one that grabs the reader on the very first page and doesn't let go until the back cover is closed. She puts a lot of action into her stories, and moves the plot along at a pretty good clip. Her characters are flawed human beings and relatable to her readers. This is a five-star book, with two thumbs up, and an astounding finish in the ultra-marathon of life.
