Running Ransom Road by Caleb Daniloff
The monikers drunk, addict, abuser, and boozehound were Caleb Daniloff's for fifteen years. Now, the introduction that fits him best is My name is Caleb and I am a runner.
In Running Ransom Road, Daniloff, many years sober, confronts his past by [...]setting out, over the course of eighteen months, to run marathons in the cities where he once lived and wreaked havoc. Competing from Boston to New York, Vermont to Moscow, Daniloff explores the sobering and inspiring effects of running as he traverses the trails of his former self, lined with dark bars, ratty apartments, lost loves, and lost chances. With each race he comes to understand who he is, and by extension who he was, and he finds he is not alone. There are countless souls in sneakers running away from something, or better, running past and through whatever it is that haunts them.
In this powerful story of ruin, running, and redemption, Daniloff illuminates the connection between running and addiction and shows that the road to recovery is an arduous but conquerable one. Strapping on a pair of Nikes won't banish all your demons, but it can play an important role in maintaining a clean life. For Daniloff, sweat, strained lungs, and searing muscles are among the paving stones of empowerment, and, if he's lucky, perhaps even self-forgiveness.

Brotherhood in the Maine Woods
In his new memoir, Cabin: Two Brothers, a Dream, and Five Acres in Maine, College of Communication professor of journalism Lou Ureneck recounts his experience building a cabin with his brother and nephews. It is a tale of building a retreat, as well [...]as an account of how he succeeded in reconnecting with his family, nature, and himself.
Ureneck takes readers on his journey through the preliminary building stages, salvaging for materials, and his decision to opt for the old timber-frame method of construction, using wood joinery rather than nails. With the help of his brother and nephews, the cabin was finished in just over a year.
On a more profound level, the book is about the deepening bond between two brothers who had grown apart. “When you get around to reassembling your life, as I was doing,†says Ureneck, “it’s good to have someone at your side who remembers how the parts once fit together.â€
