What People are Saying About This

Lucinda Secrest McDowell

"Yet again, Sharon Garlough Brown offers the perfect blend of a riveting story and spiritual content—this time during the season of Lent. Redeeming and refreshing, I highly recommend it, even though it means saying goodbye to literary friends I have enjoyed for four novels."

Sarah Arthur

"Don't miss this last mile. Reckoning with loss, life not going as planned, and relinquishing plans altogether, An Extra Mile is as harrowing as it is satisfying."
