In her debut memoir From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete (August 2022, Meyer & Meyer Sport), Hilary JM Topper documents her journey of becoming an endurance athlete in her 40s and beyond while also surviving daily life obstacles: operating her own small business and working 60+ hours per week, mothering two children, caregiving for aging parents, responding to deaths of family members and friends, juggling COVID-19 complications, and more.

WE RIDE UPON STICKS (Vintage, 2020), a novel about a women's varsity field hockey team, popped up on just about every search I conducted on "women's sports fiction." So, it was a must-read. I'm delighted that it lived up to the literary hype.
