How can we balance our need to belong with our desire for freedom? It is a question explored by veteran champion fell runner Julie Carter in a memoir grounded in a three-day run from Cumbria to Tyneside. Along the way, Julie confronts the ghosts of her difficult upbringing and seeks to reclaim a sense of connection through her surprising ancestor who played a pivotal role in spawning the modern sport of running. With humour and humanity this deeply personal story draws on Julie’s life-long involvement with running and her expertise in genetics and medicine to examine the extent to which we are free to determine our life’s path.
