As experienced marathoner Nadia embarks on her biggest challenge yet, a 100-kilometre ultrarun, her thoughts turn to her maternal grandmother, who emigrated to the Netherlands in the early 1950s as a young widow, escaping Czechoslovakia in the aftermath of a Communist coup d'etat. As Nadia struggles with unexpected obstacles in the longest race of her life, the parallels with her grandmother become clearer. However, Nadia also realizes that Oma, now 94, has been tested far more than her granddaughter likely ever will.
From my Mother is a novel exploring identity through the parallel stories of a marathoner tackling her first 100-kilometre (62-mile) ultrarun and her maternal grandmother who fled Czechoslovakia in the aftermath of a Communist coup d'etat.br />

(Nov 2009) relates the shared experience that running is for women. Some run for the simple pleasure it brings, while others race for finish lines. Some run with friends, while others run alone.
