520    "Natalia De La Cruz Rivera y Santiago, also known as Nat, 
       was swimming neighborhood kids out of their money at the 
       local Inglewood pool when her life changed. The LA 
       Mermaids performed, emerging out of the water with 
       matching sequined swimsuits, and it was then that 
       synchronized swimming stole her heart. The problem? Her 
       activist mom and professor dad think it's a sport with too
       much emphasis on looks-on being thin and white. Nat grew 
       up the youngest in a house full of boys, so she knows how 
       to fight for what she wants, often using her anger to fuel
       her. People often underestimate her swimming skills when 
       they see her stomach rolls, but she knows better than to 
       worry about what people think. Still, she feels more like 
       a submarine than a mermaid, but she wonders if she might 
       be both. Barely Floating explores what it means to sparkle
       in your skin, build community with those who lift you up, 
       and keep floating when waters get rough" --|cPublisher's
