✦ Synopsis

Lindsay Harrel presents a powerful story of heartbreak, healing, and what it means to be truly alive.

Over a year ago, thrill-seeking brothers Wesley and Brent Jamison died in a scuba diving accident, leaving behind their wives, Angela and Eva. While Angela focuses on surviving and taking care of her three children, barely making ends meet, Eva quits working and begins to lose herself in the process of grieving. Life as they knew it seems to be over, and neither can figure out how to move forward.

But then Eva discovers that their husbands registered for a seven-day ultra-marathon in gorgeous New Zealand before they died, and the race is happening in four months. She convinces a reluctant Angela to compete with her in Wes and Brent’s place as a way to honor their husbands. Running the race of a lifetime just might be the perfect way to come to terms with their husbands’ deaths—and with the way they lived.

With every step they take along the journey, the women are forced to choose between healing and heartbreak, and they must learn to embrace the grief that brought them here in the first place if they ever want to truly be alive again.
