Ruth Fitzmaurice
Medium Paperback
Ruths tribe are her lively children and her filmmaker husband, Simon, who has Motor Neurone Disease and can only communicate with his eyes. Ruths other tribe are the friends who gather at the cove in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, and regularly throw themselves into the freezing cold water, just for kicks.
The Tragic Wives Swimming Club, as they jokingly call themselves, meet to cope with the extreme challenges life puts in their way, not to mention the monster waves rolling over the horizon. Swimming is just one of the daily coping strategies as Ruth fights to preserve the strong but now silent connection with her husband. As she tells the story of their marriage, via diagnosis to their current precarious situation, Ruth also charts her passion for sea swimming culminating in a midnight swim under the full moon on her wedding anniversary.
An invocation to all of us to love as harr,
I Found My Tribe is an urgent and uplifting letter to a husband, family, friends, the natural world and the brightness of life
