The Runner

by Patricia Ann Keim

The distance between who she was and who she’ll become.

The Runner is a contemporary women’s fiction novel that follows a woman at a pivotal moment in her life. When she decides that standing still is no longer an option, she takes the first step that will ultimately lead her somewhere she never expected.

Through the rhythm of running, the complexity of relationships, and the gradual discovery of her own resilience, she learns that the distance between who she was and who she can become is traveled one mile at a time.

Told with warmth, humor, and emotional honesty, The Runner is a story about movement, reinvention, and the quiet courage it takes to become the person you were always capable of being.
