Synopsis: Josie Lloyd&’s fearless novel is a tribute to the power of the human spirit in the face of hardship, based on the author&’s own experience with cancer and community. In the vein of Mary Ellen Taylor's Honeysuckle Season this &“amazing, breathtaking, and inspiring&” (Jenny Colgan) novel is full of hope and heart.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.
