“It’s wild writing: sexy, unguarded, raw, and ardent … highly recommended.”—The Millions

The Outrun maps Amy’s inspiring recovery as she walks along windy coasts, swims in icy Atlantic waters, tracks Orkney’s wildlife, and reconnects with her parents, revisiting and rediscovering the place that shaped her.
