Running Home
by Katie Arnold
This was just a chance pick-up at the library for me, but I loved it! Very thoughtful and well-written memoir about a woman's loss of her father and subsequent discovery of herself as she mourns the loss and relives the memories of life with and without him. It was more without than with, as he left the house when she was fairly young. He was unwilling to sacrifice his personal freedom to stay tied down to a single woman and family, but he loved them all dearly.
I see a bit of this in her. She doesn't compare it specifically to him, but she struggles with it as she increases her running miles.
