Sinopsis

Laura has it all: a great job, a loving family, a new husband, and a house in her hometown, where she can watch her sister, Taylor, grow up. But one month after her wedding, Laura and her family receive shocking news: Taylor has Batten disease. A rare, fatal disease that will cause Taylor to go blind, suffer seizures, and lose the ability to walk and talk. There is no cure. Laura thought she&rsquo,d get to watch her baby sister grow up, but instead she&rsquo,ll have to watch her die.Unwilling to take no cure for an answer, Laura founds a charity with family and friends, Taylor&rsquo,s Tale, to save children with the disease. Meanwhile, Taylor starts running, completing her first race blind. Inspired, Laura, a lifelong runner, begins running in half marathons to raise money and awareness. And also to run away from the pain.Taylor&rsquo,s Tale becomes a world leader in the fight against Batten disease, but not quickly enough to save Taylor. Stripped of her faith, Laura falls into a dark despair. But Taylor&rsquo,s unwavering courage in the face of certain death gives Laura a renewed sense of purpose to turn her family&rsquo,s tragedy into an opportunity&mdash,to ensure others won&rsquo,t have to suffer as her sister has suffered.Run to the Light is Laura&rsquo,s inspiring account of how she found the courage to face indescribable loss, and of what it means to really believe.á
