{"product_id":"not-so-fast-sarah-mcmahon-9781957799469","title":"Not So Fast","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in a rural farming town can be lonely and unglamorous. In\u003ci\u003e Not So Fast\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah McMahon positions rural America warmly, sharply contrasting its beauty with the economic insecurity that lies at its core. After a childhood spent running around cornfields, she earned a scholarship to run cross country and track at Bradley University, a small, private Division 1 school in central Illinois. Any notion of security was abandoned when her mother fell ill and Sarah found herself in the clutches of an eating disorder that only deepened and darkened in the arena of collegiate athletics. She graduated with two degrees, an injured hip, and an abusive boyfriend. After moving to California, she not only broke free of his abuse, but found stable treatment and learned the definition of true, unconditional love.\u003c\/p\u003eBy turns humorous, dark, and deeply vulnerable, \u003ci\u003eNot So Fast\u003c\/i\u003e is an honest accounting of universal struggles; economic insecurity, family illness, mental health, and dysfunctional relationships. McMahon's voice is simultaneously frank and poetic, imbuing snippets of hope that feel just as universal as any of her struggles. \u003ci\u003eNot So Fast \u003c\/i\u003einvites readers to witness a reclamation of power, love, and belonging in a world that often asks women to forget who they are. Hers is a story about what it means to lose everything you thought defined you, and find yourself instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah McMahon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957799463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957799469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moontide Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Sarah McMahon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437641183487,"sku":"9781957799469","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe47594c-c350-44bb-9a85-76b6f3f70db3.jpg?v=1777163097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-so-fast-sarah-mcmahon-9781957799469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
