Read this for the One Book One School program at work. It was pretty good! Polished it off on the train to church. I Didn't know the particular history of segregated pools and beaches that stymied the transfer of swimming skills to black children in mid-century America. Positive messaging about perseverance and teamwork, repairing broken friendships.
