‘Swimming With Ghosts’ author to sign books Aug. 8
Browseabout Books will host author Michelle Brafman as she signs copies of "Swimming With Ghosts" from 1 to 3 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 8, in Rehoboth Beach.
It’s June 2012 at the magical and slightly cultish River Run swim club when a perfect storm brews between team moms and best friends, Gillian Cloud and Kristy Weinstein. The ghost of family addiction has turned up, looming over their carefully planned pasta parties, tie-dye nights and pep rallies, forcing them to face their unresolved childhood trauma.
Gillian responds by trying to control everyone around her, and Kristy relapses into her dangerous addiction to love. Real sparks fly the night the derecho—a freak land hurricane—sweeps through Northern Virginia, knocking out power for days. The storm sets fire to a tinder box of secrets, leaving Gillian and Kristy alone in the hot dark, their only company their shame.
