Paperback. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. As an adult, Lucy Greene lives hard and slips the clutches of any emotional commitment. Shes an incredibly appealing young woman who wields a bone-dry sense of humor as a shield and promiscuity as a weapon. But when she arrives in overheated Florida to take care of her cancer- stricken mother, Lucy finds herself in strange new emotional territory that can only be understood by a frank assessment of the past. Lucy unfolds the painful memories of her childhoodincluding a freak accident that occurred one fateful summer at the family lake house, after which her father seemingly disappeared and her mother moved forward on a very different course. Amid bitterness, self-doubt, and exasperation, it is Lucys one treasured memorya midnight swim with her motherthat reminds her there is grace in her graceless world, a fact that helps her to forgive her mother and, ultimately, let her go. Uplifting but unsentimental, compelling and remarkably moving, Swimming Naked is an unforgettable debut that will resonate with daughters, mothers, and anyone whos ever searched her past in the hopes of finding a future.
