Description

Racing Time is a book of searing intensity shining a healing light into the wounds of loss.

Most of all, it is a celebration of life-long friendships with three men -- each outspoken, authentic, and a lover of the out-of-doors.

In a period of nine months, Smithwick delivers the eulogies of these three who have been his nexus to the world of steeplechasing and Thoroughbred racing.

Written to stand on its own, this is the third of a trilogy, following the memoirs Racing My Father and Flying Change.

It continues with the vivid prose and sensory descriptions of the first two books, then takes a different path, delving deeply into the psyche of men, showing one man's love and respect for another, sometimes his anger and disappointment, and always his sense of loyalty and wonder.

Smithwick takes the reader through the joy and excitement of shared youthful experiences, into the camaraderie of adulthood, and ends with the clap of a thundercloud calling on us all to live life to the fullest.
