Book excerpt: An Oprah Editor's Pick and NPR Best Book of the Year From the author of the award-winning and word-of-mouth sensation Our Endless Numbered Days comes an exhilarating literary mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final page. Ingrid Coleman writes letters to her husband, Gil, about the truth of their marriage, but instead of giving them to him, she hides them in the thousands of books he has collected over the years. When Ingrid has written her final letter she disappears from a Dorset beach, leaving behind her beautiful but dilapidated house by the sea, her husband, and her two daughters, Flora and Nan. Twelve years later, Gil thinks he sees Ingrid from a bookshop window, but he’s getting older and this unlikely sighting is chalked up to senility. Flora, who has never believed her mother drowned, returns home to care for her father and to try to finally discover what happened to Ingrid. But what Flora doesn’t realize is that the answers to her questions are hidden in the books that surround her. Scandalous and whip-smart, Swimming Lessons holds the Coleman family up to the light, exposing the mysterious truths of a passionate and troubled marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An infant can drown in as little as an inch of water in less than thirty seconds. A bathtub, toilet, bucket, swimming pool, hot tub, or any other container can be dangerous, and water safety should never be taken lightly. It's imperative never to leave a child unsupervised near water, and because child drowning is preventable with a long term commitment to swimming lessons, it's equally important to make sure your child can swim. The ability to swim is one of the best life skills you can give your child, and the sooner you do it, the safer your child will be. Statistics show that when water skills and comfort in the water are introduced early, children are less likely to develop a fear of swimming. Since a child's fear of water might prevent future attempts at learning the necessary water skills, it's important to start early and be safe. Mommy and Me Go to Swimming Lessons is a must-read guide book before starting swimming lessons with your child. Written through a child's eyes, it helps introduce parents and children to swimming lessons and encourages them to feel comfortable and excited about going. Your child will be asked to learn all of the water skills introduced in this book at their own swimming lessons. This is an easy, fun book that your child will want to read over and over again, even after they have started learning to swim. About the Author: Angela A.
