About this audiobook
Quenton Cassidy thought he had left his athletic career far behind as he built a successful professional career in south Florida.
But as several personal tragedies and the wear and tear of life began to weigh upon him, he wonders if perhaps he hasn't given up a special part of his life too soon.
His return to the world of competitive running is dramatic and revelatory to both the protagonist and the listener, as is his desperate, all-out attempt to make one last Olympic team.
Runner's World on Once A Runner
"the best novel about running ever."
