Summary

Quenton Cassidy thought he had left his athletic career far behind as he built a successful professional career in south Florida. But as several personal tragedies and the wear and tear of life began to weigh upon him, he wonders if perhaps he hasn't given up a special part of his life too soon. His return to the world of competitive running is dramatic and revelatory to both the protagonist and the listener, as is his desperate, all-out attempt to make on last Olympic team.

Better than Once a Runner

I listened to this straight after Once a Runner; it's a better story. The writing felt more natural, a stronger plot with ennui, comedy, an awesome final race and a moment of revelation for Cassidy.

Best running novel

Don’t think you need to be a runner to enjoy this book but it definitely helps and you understand, just brilliant and if you haven’t read the former book ‘once a runner’ you need to , just need to get ‘racing the rain’ on audio now for the full set
