About this ebook
Born and raised in a small, agricultural community in Brazil’s heartland, each of the winding 26 miles (or chapters) are flashbacks of Eder’s past – church, family, work, romance, marriage, birth, and death. His life and this marathon have ups and downs that will test both his character and his beliefs, as Eder confronts world-class runners from around the globe during the race through the beautiful streets and beaches of Rio. Eder’s gifted, inspirational, and extraordinary wife, Gelita, is the guiding light that helps him through each the twisting turns. The magnificent marathon competition is revealed through the eyes of two broadcasting commentators who recount the drama as the race unfolds. Experts agree that man has physically progressed to being able to run a sub two hour marathon and now it is more a matter of mind over body, and, of course, favorable race day conditions.

This novel that encompasses the past, present, and near-future is the first of a trilogy that will follow the main characters through the next several decades. The other two novels are already in rough draft. I was born and raised in a small town in Southern Indiana, and attended Purdue University. I had visited 48 of the 50 states before the age of 18, because my father was a college professor and a travel fanatic. Since graduating, I have lived and worked in more than 10 other countries including Brazil where I have lived off and on since 1984. I have written several short stories based on these experiences and have now expanded into writing novels.
