520 |a When her brother Matt's heroin addiction comes roaring back after lying dormant for years, an overdose changes everything. In the year following his death, Keefe's grief and trauma keep her obsessed with the past. To soothe her aching body and scattered brain, she takes on training for her first half-marathon. She pushes her body to its limits, but her recklessness catches up with her. Here Keefe explores the psychosocial risk factors that lead to addiction, and the extent to which one can push mind and body to regenerate after a major loss. -- Adapted from jacket
