From reviews:

“The author has written a story that draws the reader in quickly and gives the reader hope of mysteries solved only to realize that the illuminated path is not a destination but a journey. I love how the end of this short story leaves me wanting more.”

A letter from a colleague informs exomechanic Sarah Burgess that her father is alive and conducting extraordinary research on an abandoned Lunar station. In the midst of turmoil over resources on Earth, she ventures out with Desmond, an eager young biologist, to recover both potentially-groundbreaking data and the only family she has left.

“Great read and inspiring for moms who run!”

Pregnancy and new-motherhood can bring many changes and unknowns for competitive runners. Running moms-to-be frequently ask:

- Can I still train while pregnant?
- Is running safe for my baby?
- What changes can I expect in my running?
- Can I be both a successful competitive runner and a successful mom?

"Faster After Baby" answers those questions, and many more, while journeying into the joy, challenge, and science of competitive running and pregnancy. It combines a narrative of the author's personal experience, a collection of stories from other running mothers, and a crash course in sports anatomy and physiology.

For anyone who worries about how pregnancy will alter their running careers, professional and recreational athletes alike, "Faster After Baby" will uplift your spirit and empower your mind with an informative blend of story and science!
