We are delighted to welcome world class open water swimmer and acclaimed author Lynne Cox back this evening for her newest book Swimming in the Sink: An Episode of the Heart (Alfred A. Knopf). In a fine body of work that includes Swimming to Antarctica, Grayson, Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas, and the instructive Open Water Swimming Manual, this is Lynne Cox’s most personal, moving book yet.
“Vivid...Straightforward and intimate...This satisfying journey through a world-class athlete’s heart-centered crisis is a warm tale of recovery and even finding love.” –Publishers Weekly.
“Cox brings both the unique perspective of an athlete who spent a lifetime exploring her physical limits and the determination of someone who braved painful research into the body’s ability to survive the cold. Her journey here proves the strength of her heart.” –Bridget Thoreson, Booklist
