Johanna Garton began running on the dirt roads surrounding her family’s farmhouse in Wisconsin at age seven. She continued through college, where she competed for Syracuse University as a walk-on. She’s run more than twenty marathons, including five finishes at the Boston Marathon. Johanna’s first book, Awakening East, is the story of the adoption of her two children from China as babies and her family’s move to China to live for one year when the children were ages four and nine. Her second book Edge of the Map tells the story of American high altitude mountaineer Christine Boskoff and is currently being developed into a feature film. Johanna is a sportswriter and high school cross country coach who lives with her family in Denver.
