Intro
In 2005, Jackie Brown raced the Badwater 135, considered the planet's toughest foot race. Athletes have 48 hours to cover 135 miles nonstop from one extreme to another. Runners start at the lowest elevation in North America—the Badwater Basin in Death Valley. Then, they make their way toward the Whitney Portal, the trailhead to the tallest point in the contiguous United States, Mt. Whitney.
She missed the 48-hour cut-off by 28 minutes. Determined to redeem herself, she was ready to take another crack at Badwater when life dealt her a crippling blow. Soon after the race, Jackie lost her mother, father, and husband. Jackie's journey back to Badwater is more than a story of how to deal with the pain of life. It's a woman's journey to reclaim herself.
