Why write a book?

My nose in a book 
sweet smell of inspiration
Artist's words speak life

My favorite run memory— The Boston Marathon 2021

---

I believe sharing my story of pain, self-harm, and troubles will support the recovery and healing of others. I believe writing about how my faith brought me through will remind my reader that their life has value.

This is why I wrote, My Road: A Runner’s Journey Through Persistent Pain to Healing and Staring Down a Dream: A Mom, a Marathoner, a Mission to allow my readers to lean into their story of challenges with curiosity and courage.

Perhaps my story will help one person in pain feel less alone to know— there is light just up ahead hold tight to your courage.

Inspire one runner to keep showing up— your endurance will pay off, keep going.

Encourage one mother to continue lacing up knowing her dedication is impacting her children for the good— you’re showing them resilience, hard work, and what it takes to pursue a dream.

I hope readers will discover what is possible when faith, persistence, and self-love are in the driver's seat.

Please reach out if you would like to purchase one of my books for you or someone you love this Holiday season.

Thank you for your interest and support,

Julie
