Book excerpt: DRY RUN is a wise and entertaining book that weaves together a story of running the Providence marathon with a parallel story of growing up with an alcoholic parent, its own kind of marathon. The story is told with humor, grace, wit, and self-knowledge, and is essential reading for anyone growing up under less than desirable circumstances and anyone who loves to run. DRY RUN is a story of human transformation from confusion, despair, and brokenness to wholeness, healing, and the beginnings of self-love and acceptance, paralleling a physical progression through self-doubt, exhaustion, power and persistence. Consisting of 26.2 chapters, DRY RUN is coming of age memoir that compares the challenges of running a marathon with the struggles of growing up as an only child with an alcoholic parent.
