But on land, she could never shake the feeling of being a fish out of water. Starting at age two, Nancy devoted her life to swimming, even qualifying for the 1988 Olympic Trials in the fifty-meter freestyle event. But nearly two decades later, when she hung up her cap and goggles, she was confronted with a different kind of challenge: learning who she was \u003ci\u003eout\u003c\/i\u003e of the lanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this honest, intimate memoir, Nancy reflects on her years wandering the globe, where tragic events and a lost sense of self escalate her dependence on booze. Thirty-three years after her first sip of alcohol, the swimmer comes to a stunning realization while living with her husband and son in Abu Dhabi--she's drowning in the desert. Nancy looks to the Bedouin people for the strength to conquer one final opponent: alcohol addiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Stearns Bercaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503942953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503942950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Harbor Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Nancy Stearns Bercaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076268585215,"sku":"9781503942950","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a13b3a4f-4f40-4dd2-9c21-c2342bd17f07.jpg?v=1685464065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dryland-nancy-stearns-bercaw-9781503942950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
