After author Jess Keefe ended things with her long-term boyfriend, she moved in with her brother in hopes that family could help her not only heal from the break-up but also evolve into a healthy adult. But that fantasy ended when Matt’s heroin addiction came roaring back after lying dormant for years, leading to a fatal overdose one October night. Thirty-Thousand Steps is a powerful and transformative memoir that interweaves the author’s obsessive training to becoming a distance runner, along with her focused research into the science of addiction in the shadow of grief.

I finished listening to this book in a day - two sittings. I couldn’t stop listening.
Keefe not only shares her tender personal story of losing a cherished family member to addiction, but also masterfully contextualizes why far too many individuals have been impacted by the opioid crisis in America. It’s a mesmerizing weaving of memoir, history, therapy, harm reduction resources, & pop culture.
