She wrote her stories by living them, until eventually life on the thin edge of risk began to seem normal. After she married, Katie and her husband vowed to raise their daughters to be adventurous, too, in the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. But when her father died of cancer, she was forced to confront her own mortality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His death was cataclysmic, unleashing a perfect storm of grief and anxiety. She and her father, an enigmatic photographer for \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic, \u003c\/i\u003ehad always been kindred spirits. He introduced her to the outdoors and took her camping and on bicycle trips and down rivers, and taught her to find solace and courage in the natural world. And it was he who encouraged her to run her first race when she was seven years old. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now nearly paralyzed by fear and terrified she was dying, too, she turned to the thing that had always made her feel most alive: running. Over the course of three tumultuous years, she ran alone through the wilderness, logging longer and longer distances, first a 50-kilometer ultramarathon, then 50 miles, then 100 kilometers. She ran to heal her grief, to outpace her worry that she wouldn't live to raise her own daughters. She ran to find strength in her weakness. She ran to remember and to forget. She ran to live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ultrarunning tests the limits of human endurance over seemingly inhuman distances, and as she clocked miles across mesas and mountains, Katie learned to tolerate pain and discomfort, and face her fears of uncertainty, vulnerability, and even death itself. As she ran, she found herself peeling back the layers of her relationship with her father, discovering that much of what she thought she knew about him, and her own past, was wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eRunning Home\u003c\/i\u003e is a memoir about the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our world--the stories that hold us back, and the ones that set us free. Mesmerizing, transcendent, and deeply exhilarating, it is a book for anyone who has been knocked over by life, or feels the pull of something bigger and wilder within themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \"A beautiful work of searching remembrance and searing honesty . . .
