In RUNNING BROUGHT US TOGETHER, RUNNING SEPARATED US, and RUNNING IS HOW WE SURVIVED IT, author Tara Westover explores the complex and often contradictory role that running has played in her life. From her early days as a solitary runner on the isolated roads of rural Idaho, to her years as a competitive runner at Brigham Young University, to her present-day life as a mother and writer, running has been a constant thread in Westover's life.

In the book, Westover writes about how running helped her to escape the isolation of her childhood, to find her own identity, and to overcome the challenges she faced as a first-generation college student. She also writes about how running became a source of conflict between her and her family, who were concerned about her health and safety. Ultimately, running was the thing that helped Westover to survive the trauma of her childhood and to build a new life for herself.

RUNNING BROUGHT US TOGETHER, RUNNING SEPARATED US, and RUNNING IS HOW WE SURVIVED IT is a powerful and moving memoir about the power of running to heal and to transform.
