"Amazing, heartbreaking, and inspiring," Jenny Colgan said of the novel. "A love letter to the power of friendship, honest, and uplifting." Jill Mansell added, "A fiercely positive story about the power of hope."

Sometimes, we need our friends to help us find our footing. When Keira first receives her breast cancer diagnosis, she doesn't want to have to tell her family or step back from work. She doesn't want to sit in a hospital or be part of a group of fellow cancer patients. Cancer is not her club.

But as she accepts that her health is no longer something she can rely on, Keira finds herself embracing running. And running in the company of a group of brilliant, funny women each going through treatment unexpectedly gives Keira the hope she needs. Because the C-word is not going to define Keira's identity. And with the Cancer Ladies Running Club cheering her on, she's going to reclaim her life. One step at a time.

Life isn't always the race we expected to run, but this moving and uplifting novel is full of hope and about love, family, friendship, and the power of finding your tribe.

"A wise, warm, and wonderful novel," Adele Parks said of the novel. "An incredibly moving, uplifting, and hopeful story that looks at the power of finding your tribe. It will make you smile and love life just a little bit more." Prima added, "Uplifting and positive, you will be cheering them along."

"An honest read that, despite its heart-wrenching topic, will uplift and inspire you," Heat said. "Hopeful and life-changing," Katie Marsh, author of The Rest of Me, said of the novel. "An amazing story that shows us all the strength of the human spirit."
