Johanna Garton is a sportswriter, distance runner, mother and cross country coach. Before the publication of her first book, she dabbled in nonprofit consulting, college teaching and had a brief but quickly extinguished career as a lawyer.

Hi Tony!

I'm thrilled to hear you're looking forward to reading my book! There were many fulfilling parts of the journey. It's been quite rewarding to pull together a story that's....realistic.

Ultimately, I think I showed that even through dark times, families can come together, love each other and grow.

Happy Reading!

Closer

We are inching closer to the release date for All in Stride!  This is perhaps my favorite time in the cycle of publishing a book. A few select people begin to read the whole damn thing and I start to get feedback.  All the hard work and loneliness of researching and writing disappears a bit as I prepare for the book to be out in the universe. 

I’ve already been humbled by the addition of Kathrine
