This isn't a feel-good memoir. It's a gut-punch of a survival story. Told from mile 85 of a hundred-mile ultramarathon- bleeding, hallucinating, alone in the dark-it pulls you back through the real endurance race: surviving addiction, institutional abuse, and a childhood full of chaos. From a wilderness rehab program where kids hiked for days without food, to a "therapeutic" boarding school run by predators, this is the unvarnished account of how a kid fell hard and got back up even harder. But this isn't just about the wreckage. It's about what comes after. Firefighting. Fatherhood. Finding peace on trails where every step hurts like hell but heals something deeper. It's about learning that rock bottom isn't the end-it's the foundation. ANDY GLAZE writes like he runs: raw, honest, unflinching. This is his story-but it might just be yours too. It you've ever thought it's too late to change, or you're too far gone to start over, know this: you're not. And you're not alone.
