Long Road to Boston
By Bruce W. TuckmanFor the others, it may have been a race, but for Brad Townes it was a quest for salvation. He had run all the way from death's door and he had lost everything along the way. In the final mile, he had nothing left to lose except the race. You'll find your heart racing right along with the protagonist in this compelling story, beautifully told by a veteran runner.The grand daddy of all marathons is the backdrop for this exciting story, with the chapters taking you right through the Great Race itself: Brookline to Hopkinton, Hayden Rowe Street, Hopkinton to Ashland to Framingham, Framingham to Natick, Natick to Wellesley, Wellesley to Newton Falls, The Newton Hills, Brookline, and finally Boston. When you finish, you'll feel as if you'd just run the race alongside Bradley Townes!
The scene shifts back and forth from the heat of the race to Bradley's secret past and the reasons for his impossible quest.
Tuckman's narrative keeps you right on the edge of your seat during the entire story. We've heard from some readers who said this book kept them reading all night, others who reported themselves in tears at the end.
Reading this book is a great way to prepare mentally and spiritually to run Boston.
