Jenny Long, Expect a Miracle:


A Mother’s Tale of Brotherly Love, Faith & the Race That Changed a Family’s Life



About the book:
In  “Expect a Miracle”, Jenny reflects on her past while comparing it to the lessons her sons, Conner and Cayden have taught her about life. The touching memoir describes Jenny’s perseverance in the wake of her mother’s death, her struggles as a teenager, her abusive relationship and her journey into motherhood. Despite Jenny’s obstacles raising her son Cayden, who has spastic Cerebral Palsy, she takes inspiration from her sons and their decision to race together in the Nashville Kids Triathlon in 2011.

Media coverage of the Long Brothers:
Since completing their first race together, Conner and Cayden have competed in 14 other races nationwide, have been named Sports Illustrated’s 2012 SportsKids of the Year and have received widespread media attention from ESPN, Good Morning America and the Huffington Post.
