Have you ever taken a risk and wish you hadn't? Dive into this dramatic story of an experienced swimmer caught in a midst of a bad decision. “Harrowing” is one word many readers have used to describe this unusual adventure story, as told by a sixty-something-year-old woman. Written and illustrated by the author of the popular Stronger Women Substack column and the pioneering book, The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football, this 20-page graphic story takes the reader on a personal journey through wild and freezing-cold ocean currents. Told in first person, this true story offers an unusually candid glimpse of how older women navigate aging, athleticism, physical losses, and their own efforts to come to grips with their bodies as they change. Ultimately, a Wild Swim is about the folly of denying inevitable age-related physical declines as illustrated by the author's perilous plunge into the icy North Atlantic, where she risks joining the Titanic on the sea floor while trying in vain to prove to herself that she is still young, strong, and brave.
