Running with the Moon

Right before her 41st birthday, Angela N. Hunt began blogging about training for her first marathon. To her shock, it got a lot of responses and comments, including this one: I have a request. Write a book about your training and running a marathon. Even a short book. Throw in ruminations about your mother insulting you about it, and about missing your father. Tell us about your girls, and publishing, and what it is to be a working mom with daughters in a world where women are still treated as second class citizens. Tie together running and writing and sci-fi and life in the way only you can. I would read the Hell out of that. I would hand a copy to Winter when she's old enough and tell her she can do anything. This is that book. Because Angela realized it was not just Winter that needed to hear about her nights of training. It was her own daughters. It was and is anyone's daughter who needs to hear: don't listen to the naysayers. Put on your running shoes. And run.
