By Josie Lloyd

Release Date: 2022-02-08

Genre: Fiction & Literature

4.5 (16 ratings)
A powerful tribute to the power of the human spirit in the face of hardship—based on the author’s own experience within the cancer community—for fans of Mary Ellen Taylor’s Honeysuckle Season.

A woman finds hope, support, and friendship in a runner’s group following her breast cancer diagnosis in this â€œamazing, breathtaking, and inspiring” novel (Jenny Colgan, author of The Bookshop on the Corner).


When Keira first receives her breast cancer diagnosis, she never expects to end up joining a running group with three women she’s only just met. Totally blind-sided, all she can think about is how she doesn’t want to tell her family or step back from work. Nor does she want to be part of a group of fellow cancer patients. Cancer is not her club.

And yet it’s running—hot, sweaty, lycra-clad running in the company of brilliant, funny women all going through treatment—that unexpectedly gives Keira the hope she so urgently needs. Because Keira will not be defined by the C-word. And now, with the Cancer Ladies’ Running Club cheering her on, she is going to reclaim everything: her family, her identity, and her life.

One step at a time.

Moving, uplifting and full of hope, this is a beautifully crafted novel about love, family, and the power of finding your tribe.
