The Cancer Ladies Running Club

Josie Lloyd — 2020

'Amazing, heartbreaking and inspiring' Jenny Colgan ∗∗∗ Sometimes we find friendship in the most unexpected of places... When Keira receives her breast cancer diagnosis she doesn't want to have to tell her children or her husband Tom, and she doesn't want to step back from work. She doesn't want to sit in a hospital and stare mortality in the face, nor be part of a group of fellow cancer patients. Cancer is not her club. But, as she is forced to accept everything must change and her health becomes something she can't rely on, Keira finds herself embracing running. Hot, sweaty running in the company of a group of brilliant, funny women each going through treatment. One step at a time Keira is going to reclaim something. Her family, her business, her life. Moving and uplifting, this is a novel about love, family and the power of finding your tribe.

The Cancer Ladies Running Club by Josie Lloyd has Keira discovering that she has cancer, which makes her head spin - she has children, a husband, and a business to run! And running isn't something that she expects to get into, but a chance offer sees her life change. There's also issues at her business - it's an independent high street shop, which she runs with her friend, whose husband has recently joined the company. Keira doesn't know how she feels about that, and then things start going wrong. This is a heart warming book, with lovely friendships, hidden talents and love. There are high and low points throughout the book, and it is trying to show us the reality of cancer.
