About this ebook

After losing her husband, she’s not about to lose this race. But if she doesn’t drop out, she could lose her family.

When Michele Lopez Hanson quit her law practice to become an author, she was looking forward to spending more time at home with her triathlete husband and her teen kids. But when a tragic biking accident claims her husband’s life, she finds herself with nothing but free time and painful memories. Drowning in grief, she pledges to honor his memory by competing in the Ironman he’ll never finish. But as she follows along his old training routes, she discovers that if she pedals hard enough, she can sense him alongside her.

Her single-minded focus on the race leaves little time for her children, but when her teenage son is accused of murder, she has no choice but to get off the bike seat long enough to track down the real killer. With the Ironman fast approaching and the charges against her son heating up, can she cross the finish line and hold her family together or will everything she loves crash and burn?

Ratings and reviews

If you are into everyday life, slow moving, and athletic training then you will enjoy this read. For me, trying to forget grief, it is not my cup of tea.

Good story, interesting believable characters, a very compelling mystery, a heartfelt love story with all the everyday joy and the grief that comes with loss. I read it in less than 2 days and cried at the ending. Good tears, happy and sad. I will remember these feelings for a long time. I'm going now to pick out another book by this author.

Enjoyable book. Realistic characters, especially the teens. Would liked to have seen follow thru with stingray investigations. Enjoyed the author.
