The 12th Mile: When Hard Becomes Harder Still

By: Gibson, Louise Ann

At age forty-seven, Louise Ann Gibson laced up her first pair of running shoes. What began as an unlikely hobby soon became God's training ground for a much harder journey: walking alongside her daughter through years of chronic mental illness while facing her own epilepsy diagnosis.

The 12th Mile: When Hard Becomes Harder Still is a raw yet hope-filled memoir that weaves story, Scripture, and practical insight into a message of perseverance. Gibson's unique perspective-bridging running, faith, and caregiving-reminds readers that God never abandons them in the hardest seasons. This book is for weary parents, caregivers, and anyone longing to endure with faith when life does not let up.
