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.
