Seamlessly navigating the balance between incongruous identities as a Brooklyn-born Nigerian, Stanford-educated Commodities Trader, and Olympic Track and Field athlete, Running Home draws readers into Idara Otu's world through the context of her fiercely competitive, conventional African upbringing. With PhD and Masters-degreed parents and siblings, stringent cultural parameters, and tongue-clicking disapproval at any outcome subpar to excellence, Idara's smooth ascent to Stanford and dreams of a lifetime of golden meritocracy came crashing down. An ill-fated championship race ended her collegiate racing career, followed by the crushing realizations of the 'Old Boy' networks of Wall Street and the genteel Houston south. Running Home is an inspiring and brutally honest resurrection story that digs deep into the psyche that propelled Idara from loneliness and despair to the heights of dreams come true on the world's greatest and most powerful stages.
