The race emcee sounded the starting horn. We were off . . .

Amidst the excitement of qualifying and training for the Boston Marathon, Erin couldn't help but realize that something was missing in her quest for more miles and personal bests. An admitted perfectionist and over-achiever, she had a constant drive to keep up a good front and please everyone around her-all the while forgetting what mattered most.

But in an instant, her world changed.

In Before Boston, Erin Webb takes us through her journey of recovering from what could have taken her life, to the Boston finish line and beyond. As she takes you through her difficult path of recovery, her journey becomes a different kind of race-one to discover her true meaning and purpose in this life and to lead others to do the same.
