About the BookWhen Karen's husband drowns off the postcard-perfect Queensland coast, four friends realise they are no longer happy to just tread water in the shallow end of the local pool. Karen wants distraction from the grief that threatens to overwhelm her - and she needs to feel that she could save a drowning swimmer if she had to. Charlie, a divorced mother of two young boys, hopes to get fit - and get back into the swim of dating. Then there's Cate, newly married to a much older man; Laura, the dependable town doctor; and Wendy, brisk and capable. And all of them have secrets …
As their strokes improve, their friendship deepens and along the way they share tears, laughter and changing-room confidences.
