"Young Woman and the Sea: How Trudy Ederle Conquered the English Channel and Inspired the World," by Glenn Stout. An incredible story about a trailblazer. Bonus points for also covering some early history of women's sports. I have seriously considered putting a picture of Trudy up in my house.

Calling all writers…

“Big-time college sports is a cesspool,” according to New York City PI Elgin O’Brien…. Readers will find it easy to immerse themselves in O’Connor and Stout’s fictional world, and they’ll judge Elgin to be a compelling guide.

An engaging whodunit with a hero with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind.

Gimme a list, I have extras of some

For positive reasons, the first one, 1991. For negative reasons, a few i won’t mention

On this day in 1926 Trudy Ederle changed the world. If you haven’t read the book or seen the film… it is time.

Hey I have a reader DESPERATE to find a paper copy of the Italian edition of Young Woman and the Sea, La Ragazza del Mare? Anyone got a spare? #gertrudeederle

For anyone looking for a beach read, the inspirational book that inspired a film… and a taut fast-paced thriller that should!

You go, Maine.

Journalists Attest to Experiences of Sexual Misconduct with Wesley Lowery Lowery rose to prominence as a reporter and media thinker. Women in the industry say he engaged in sexual harassment and assault.

This is very thorough reporting on a very painful reality in journalism. My endless love and support to the women who detailed their experiences for this piece. The sexual abuse in our field must be stopped.
