Don’t Call It a Comeback: What Happened When I Stopped Chasing PRs and Started Chasing Happiness (St. Martin’s). Preorder here.
“Don’t Call It a Comeback is fireworks in a crowded field of athlete memoirs. With a knack for hilariously vulnerable storytelling, Keira D’Amato unspools a fascinating tale of her unconventional running career. Even though I’m a much slower runner, I found Keira’s story incredibly relatable, and I would enthusiastically press this book into the hands of anyone who runs or jogs or walks.” ―Shelby Van Pelt, New York Times bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures
“I’ve read hundreds of running books in the last fifty years, and Keira D’Amato’s Don’t Call It A Comeback stands apart from the pack. It’s not that she’s faster than everyone else―though she comes close. It’s that she’s zanier, more spontaneous, and ultimately more honest than the rest. D’Amato’s realistic look at elite running―the good, the bad, and the bonky―makes her book a reader’s delight.” ―Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon Winner and author of First Ladies of Running
