A MIDLIFE CYCLIST My Two-Wheel Journey to Heal a Broken Mind and Find Joy

This is a deeply personal audiobook about marathon runner Rachel Cullen's mental health issues and how she overcame them. Narrator Kat Rose-Martin immerses herself in her performance, bringing Cullen's authenticity to listeners, complete with her northern England accent. When Cullen learns she can no longer run after a leg injury, the devastating development ends her reliance on the one activity that keeps her bipolar disorder in check. Rose-Martin gets inside Cullen's anxiety as she makes her way from near-collapse to triumph. Rose-Martin has good comedic timing, which she uses as Cullen describes the starts and stops in her quest to find her way back to good health. Listeners will laugh, cry, and cheer for Cullen and applaud Kat Rose-Martin's insightful performance. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
