The Miracle of Small Things

Shelby is at the top of her professional triathlon career when she overhears a serious crime in the making and abandons life as she knows it to enter Witness Protection. With help from a wise old Navajo woman, a no-nonsense therapist, a scruffy and aloof dog, two precocious rats, three retired hens, and a socially-minded chef she's falling in love with, Shelby reinvents herself in ways she never could have imagined. A successful trial would allow her to get her old life back, but her potential for athletic stardom must be weighed against the meaning she finds in a community in New Mexico that she becomes a part of and grows to love. Is the courage she developed in her racing career enough to have her take the leap into a brand-new life? 30 recipes from Chef Alex and others are included!
