Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From nineteenth-century public baths to today's private backyard havens, swimming pools have long been a provocative symbol of American life. In this social and cultural history of swimming pools in the United States, Jeff Wiltse relates how, over the years, pools have served as asylums for the urban poor, leisure resorts for the masses, and private clubs for middle-class suburbanites. As sites of race riots, shrinking swimsuits, and conspicuous leisure, swimming pools reflect many of the tensions and transformations that have given rise to modern America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treading Water teaches some lessons about life. Author Carrie Wills has been writing since the age of nine. She says, "I've always fantasized about having a summer love of my own, and it wasn't until I sat down on the porch of my beach house in Acapulco that I found myself dreaming up a story about a boy that meets a girl during their last summer before they both go off to college. I think it's important to remind ourselves that it always gets better, and even if I changed the story a couple of times, it was always clear to me that Claire, my main character, had to overcome something that had happened to her, because at the end of the day, we all have to forget the past and move on." A student in Mexico City, author Carrie Wills loves living there. "There is something about our culture that sets us apart from the rest. It might be the warmth and passion we Mexican people have toward everything and everyone that makes us so special. Sure we may have our problems, but what country doesn't?" She would love to be a full-time writer someday. "I like to think of writing as my day job because I spend most of my time coming up with stories inside my head wherever I am. Just give me a pen, a paper and my iPod, and I can literally sit and write for hours on end." After a traumatic event that turns her world upside down, Claire Evans, a once free-spirited young girl, embarks on a journey to her grandmother's beach house for the summer, looking to start her life over before going to college. By taking a summer job in a flower shop, Claire begins to realize the true meaning of friendship and loyalty, and slowly crawls out of her shell, leaving behind all the feelings and memories that held her back from enjoying the life she thought she had lost forever. Jake Conway, on the other hand, is outgoing and successful. He finished his last year in school as football captain and top of his class, making all the girls fall in love with him. Little do they know that behind those blue eyes and soft smile lies a secret that is eating him up inside. With the weight and responsibility of being the man in charge of his family after his father's death, versus the dream of leaving for the big city someday, Jake must choose between having a life of his own for once, or being there for his family. When Claire and Jake's paths cross under the hot summer sun, both try to forgive and forget the past and start on a new path. This romantic novel shows that we all need to forget the past and move on, sometimes by Treading Water. About the Author First-time author Carrie Wills is a student in Mexico City.

"This isn't your typical romance where you're positive you're going to get the happy ending you were hoping for at the beginning. It will rip your heart out at times and having you weeping for joy at others. A stunning story about learning to love again and learning when to let go to those you love." A Reviewer Top Pick at Night Owl Reviews. "Treading Water is a definite must read! Treading Water creates an emotional firestorm within the reader. It shines the light on the good and the bad in life and proves that one moment can change everything and it’s never too late to find love. Marie Force grabbed my heart and squeezed every ounce of emotion out of it but most importantly her monumental story left me blissful. Treading Water may be fiction but it gives me hope; hope in everyday people and happily ever after. I cannot wait for the next book in this trilogy, Marking Time." —Joyfully Reviewed, a "Recommended Read" for November 2011!

Download or read book Treading Water written by Sydney Hanley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Hanley was four years old when her mom gave her the nickname “Fishy Girl.” Growing up by a lake, Sydney was always in the water—often deeper than her mother would have liked. She played mermaids with her sister, catch with her brothers, and swam laps to her neighbors’ buoys and back. She would spend hours in the lake for days at a time. She could never just be by the water; if she was near it, she had to go under, had to swim. At freshly nineteen, in the spring of her senior year of high school, Sydney learned how to properly tread water for the first time. Now in college, Sydney reflects on her time spent as an athlete throughout her life with her memoir, Treading Water. She refuses to hold back the raw moments of her journey toward college athletics as she extends a lifeline to those struggling in a world obsessed with the curation of self-images. Treading Water breaks into “writing sketches” to convey Sydney’s personal entrapment with the relentless pursuit of perfection, the emotional toll of being consistently reduced to statistics, and the lull that follows a blatant failure to meet expectations. The memoir also delves into critical moments in Sydney’s life where seeking help and embracing vulnerability propelled her toward a stage of healing and self-acceptance. With Treading Water, Sydney shares how sometimes just keeping her head above water was exhausting. Sometimes, she even gave up completely. But ultimately, she created her own path back to self-fulfillment and acceptance. Her memoir is a testament to the importance of mental health in sports, the courage it takes to speak out, and the strength in the legs of those still treading.

Book excerpt: If they can find a way to work together, Sean & Julian might be able to save a friend and each other in the process. After devoting eighteen years of his life to the US Navy, Petty Officer First Class Shane Parker is struggling with the very real possibility of becoming unnecessary. If he doesn’t make Chief Petty Officer before his twenty—and it doesn’t seem likely that he will—he’ll be retired from active service and placed on the Fleet Reserve list until his mooring lines are officially cut forever. While it would all be very honorable and ceremonial, he simply wasn’t civilian material. Before even swearing-in, Julian Brand knew he wasn’t cut out to be a soldier, but refusing wasn’t an option. Generations of Brand man made careers in the military and the expectation of every Brand son was to follow in those prestigious footsteps. Though the prospect of being rolled back hindered his every step, he survived Battle Stations and did his time. Six years out of uniform and Julian still struggles to find familial acceptance as he fights to live life on his terms. On the surface, they couldn’t be more different, but when Jared Ramos calls, neither are capable of refusing.

Book excerpt: Ten years ago this month, I wrote THE END for the first time in TREADING WATER. At that time, I never could’ve imagined the amazing journey I was about to embark upon and how it would change my life, my family’s life and the lives of many of my friends and family who now work with me. But on that afternoon of May 18, 2005, all I could focus on was the singular feeling that comes with actually finishing a book for the first time. There are no words to describe the thrill, the sense of accomplishment and the fear of what comes next. I remember those feelings as if they were yesterday rather than ten long years ago. Forty-one books later, I still get a thrill out of writing THE END, but nothing will ever compare to finishing TREADING WATER. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of that amazing day, I’m thrilled to bring you the Treading Water Series Box Set, available for the first time on May 18, 2015. Thank you to all the readers who’ve made the dream that began on that long ago day come true in every possible way. I hope you enjoy this box set! xoxo Marie
