RUNNING HOME A Memoir

You don't have to think that running an ultramarathon sounds like fun to enjoy the ride that Katie Arnold takes you on as she delivers her memoir on her complicated relationship with her father and her adventures while writing for OUTSIDE magazine and running--always running. She narrates it all with genuine emotion and self-reflection, an appealing slightly raspy timbre, and a smooth flow. Although Arnold's father leaves his family when she is a small child, their bond is strong, and she is devastated when he dies; her voice contains that deep feeling. Arnold is introduced to the great outdoors by her father, and her bliss becomes running in the mountains and the wilderness. You will feel her aching muscles, soaring spirits, and the guilt she feels about the time running takes away from her family. A.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
