Best Memoirs

摘要

In open-water swimmer Cox's inspiring and engaging sixth book, she confronts new challenges: the recent deaths of both parents and a beloved dog, then the breakdown of her own body. As she struggles, Cox keeps a coolheaded optimism throughout and works to get "my heart, mind, and body back into their normal rhythm." The book is a reminder that even the strongest and most solitary among us require the support of friends and family. Cox clearly adores those people in her life and lovingly chronicles them here. VERDICT A feel-good nonfic-tion beach read for the athletic and non-athletic alike.(LJ 7/16).
