A shocking story about a fifteen-year-old girl and the man who took
advantage of her "You might as well know from the start, I'm not
going to tell on him and I don't care how much trouble I get in.
It's not like it could get any worse than it already is. I can't.
Don't ask me why, I just can't." When Nina finds out that her
fifteen-year-old daughter, Scarlett, is pregnant, her world falls
apart. Because Scarlet won't tell anyone who the father is. And
Nina is scared that the answer will destroy everything. As the

less than a year - Nina searches for the truth: no matter what the
cost.
In her first book, popular runner blogger Amanda Brooks lays out
the path to finding greater fulfilment in running for those who
consider themselves "middle of the pack runners" - they're not
trying to win Boston (or even qualify for Boston); they just want
to get strong and stay injury-free so they can continue to enjoy
running. Run to the Finish is not your typical running book. While
it is filled with useful strategic training advice throughout, at
its core, it is about embracing your place in the middle of the
pack with humour and learning to love the run you've got without
comparing yourself to other runners. Mixing practical advice like
understanding the discomfort vs. pain, the mental side of running
and movements to treat the most common injuries with more playful
elements such as "Favourite hilarious marathon signs" and "Weird
Thoughts We all Have at the Start Line," Brooks is the
down-to-earth, inspiring guide for everyone who wants to be happier
with their run.
