Book excerpt: John Meyer would never get to run with Steve Prefontaine. The legendary distance runner died in a tragic car accident before John was born. Yet, Pre's legacy always inspired him. John earned a running scholarship to Stradford University, one of the elite Division I cross country schools. There, he would be teammates with the runner every major sports media called the next Pre. More importantly, it gave John the chance to put behind a troubled past and start a new life. But past relationships come back to haunt, and a bronzed god roommate, a gorgeous brunette, and the pressures to succeed plunge John to psychological depths he never dreamt possible. No one seems to be able to help...no one, except for a mysterious, shirtless runner on campus, who seems oddly familiar. . . A Run by the River will take you through amazing twists and turns, the mind of a runner, the schemes of a seemingly perfect roommate, and fast paced running...all that bring the story to its crash course finish. For John, things will never be the same again.
