520    "A transformative, euphoric memoir about finding solace in
       the unexpected for readers of H is for Hawk and When 
       Breath Becomes Air. Ruth's tribe are her lively children 
       and her filmmaker husband Simon who has ALS and can only 
       communicate with his eyes. Ruth's other "tribe" are the 
       friends who gather at the cove in Greystones, Co. Wicklow,
       and regularly throw themselves into the freezing cold 
       water, just for kicks. The Tragic Wives' Swimming Club, as
       they jokingly call themselves, meet to cope with the 
       extreme challenges life puts in their way, not to mention 
       the monster waves rolling over the horizon. Swimming is 
       just one of the daily coping strategies as Ruth fights to 
       preserve the strong but now silent connection with her 
       husband. As she tells the story of their marriage, from 
       diagnosis to their long-standing precarious situation, 
       Ruth also charts her passion for swimming in the wild 
       Irish Sea--culminating in a midnight swim under the full 
       moon on her wedding anniversary. An invocation to all of 
       us to love as hard as we can, and live even harder, I 
       Found My Tribe is an urgent and uplifting letter to a 
       husband, family, friends, the natural world, and the 
       brightness of life."--|cProvided by publisher.
