Reviews
"Poignant and at times rollickingly hilarious in its treatment of family ties and losses, as well as finding one's own personal journey, this engaging story, set in the 1970s, never flounders. . . . Carter's unerring sense for human frailty allows Swim To Me to provide a true and entertaining reflection of simpler times."
