A Heart in a Body in the World

Deb Caletti

Annabelle begins a 2,700-mile run across the country. With each step, she draws closer to confronting a trauma from her past. The novel connects her physical journey to the emotional work of recovering after crisis and rebuilding a sense of self. It also addresses the effects of gun violence. Annabelle’s long-distance run forms the structure for a story about a wounded heart, trauma, and the difficult process of healing.
