Sole Sisters September 8, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read this book in one sitting! I purchased the book for two running friends of mine and they passed it on to other fellow runners. This book helped me to think less about the physical act of running, but more about why I run and the friendships I have established while running. Those relationships have been a wonderful source of support and inspiration, very much like the wonderful stories told in the book.

The vignettes within this book are poignant, touching, and downright real. One of my running friends handed this to me after a 12-mile Sunday morning trek, one (which like many others) allowed us to vent, analyze, and think about our lives. Reading this compilation truly drew me in, both as a runner and a woman. But don't let the chick peg fool you. My husband, who's been a runner for more than 25 years, picked it up and agreed: This is some solid, effective writing that rewards its readers with gold coins throughout.

The stories in "Sole Sisters" demonstrated a hidden dimension of life that is revealed through running- unshakable relationships formed with running buddies, self confidence discovered through training and kicking that 5K in the butt, and dissolving problems with each step along the trails.We can all learn from these stories. Everyone, not only runners, should read this gem of a book.

A family member gave me this short book with its well-edited short essays. It did not disappoint, a clever breezy summer book. "Sole Sisters" isn't just for women. My mom is one of 5 sisters who run, and I think I finally understand them!
Wow--powerful stuff! March 17, 2006

I never would've thought a book about running could pack an emotional punch, but this one sure does. This isn't a training book or guide to racing. It's about everyday runners -- a bunch of short chapters about women whose lives have gone through some kind of upheaval, and how running helped pull them through. But it's also upbeat -- you find yourself rooting for these women, and laughing, and believe or not, even getting misty-eyed! I gave it to a friend and our running group is passing it around. It's a perfect gift for anyone who runs.
This is what running is all about.
