Debra Lee Won’t Break

Debra Lee’s life is overflowing-widowed at 38, raising a son, supporting a daughter in college, and caring for a mother with dementia, all while managing her multiple sclerosis. Determined to seize the moment, she sets out to conquer the 150-mile Chesapeake Challenge bike ride before her MS slows her down.

But just as she gathers the courage to push forward, ghosts from her past resurface. Caroline Cook-the friend who once betrayed her-wants back in her life. And the man who shattered her world as a teenager is suddenly appearing in unexpected places.

As old wounds reopen, will she find the strength to cross the finish line, or will the past derail her journey?

＂Heartwarming. . . . An inspiring tale of an unlikely heroine who discovers a wellspring of strength within herself, encouraging us all to push past our limits with persistence and grit.＂

-Lisa Doggett, MD, author of Up the Down Escalator: Medicine, Motherhood, and Multiple Sclerosis

＂[Pickett’s] words don’t just tell a story-they pull you in, wrap around your heart, and linger long after the last page.＂
