"Finish Line Interrupted" is a memoir by author Monica L. Cost, who was at the peak of her physical life - a competitive athlete and IRONMAN® triathlon finisher - when her world was violently 'interrupted.' But weeks before her next 140.6 mile triathlon, her world went dark. Struck by a distracted driver at 55 mph, Monica was catapulted into a new reality where she was given only a 0%-2% chance of ever walking again.

This was only the first "interruption." What followed was a grueling, decade-long journey through 21 surgeries, a secondary spinal injury she sustained at her gym, and an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis, followed by the discovery of the BRCA2+ genetic mutation.

"Finish Line Interrupted" is a visceral, honest account of a woman refusing to be defined by the wreckage. It is the story of a mother fighting for two "front-row seats" to her children's lives and a survivor redefining what it means to be whole when the body is broken, because sometimes the greatest victories aren't found at a finish line - they are found in the strength to stand back up.

Paperback. Approximately 220 pages.
