Jess Keefe, THIRTY-THOUSAND STEPS: A Memoir of Sprinting Toward Life After Loss

Zibby interviews author Jess Keefe about Thirty-Thousand Steps: A Memoir of Sprinting Toward Life After Loss, a powerful and transformative memoir about grieving the loss of a brother and numbing the pain by training for a marathon. Jess describes her relationship with her younger brother, his drug addiction, and the horror of finding him while he died of an overdose. She also talks about her maddening search for answers (why him?), her decision to start running marathons, and the challenge of putting the entire experience on paper.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/3Lqbc7gPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/427ivqpSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
