Jill Wheatley was a runner, until a freak accident took away everything she loved about her life. The aftermath of that day was so hard for so long, that pushing through and trying to regain some of the pieces of her former self felt impossible—until she went into the mountains. This is the story of a runner who rebuilt herself (and her running life) one hard step at a time.
