With condemning, yet humorous, comments, Holly Zimmermann, mother of four young children, endeavors to take on some of the
world's most difficult and dangerous foot races. A grueling 257-kilometer ultramarathon through the Sahara Desert, written
in a daily journal-style format, is the core of the story. Interspersed between the adventures in the Sahara, Holly recalls
other races, including when two bombs went off before her eyes at the Boston Marathon. After the Sahara Desert, the setting
for her next challenge shifted to the opposite extreme: Greenland, for the Polar Circle Marathon.
