The cur­rent is threat­en­ing to pull them under. Berry thought she had it fig­ured out — jug­gling her vice-prin­ci­pal role while rais­ing her six­teen-year-old autis­tic son, Leo. But when a pro­mo­tion oppor­tu­ni­ty col­lides with her family’s deep­est needs, she must con­front whether she’s been fight­ing the wrong bat­tles all along. McKen­na is drown­ing. Between car­ing for her grand­moth­er with demen­tia, los­ing her swim­ming schol­ar­ship, and fac­ing home­less­ness, the col­lege student’s care­ful­ly con­struct­ed world is crum­bling. Her only life­line? Teach­ing swim lessons to chil­dren with autism — includ­ing Leo. As these two women’s paths con­verge in the most unex­pect­ed way, they dis­cov­er that some­times the peo­ple who need sav­ing the most are the ones who end up sav­ing you. A deeply mov­ing explo­ration of moth­er­hood, sac­ri­fice, and the extra­or­di­nary con­nec­tions that emerge when we’re brave enough to let oth­ers see our struggles.
