But now, orphaned and living with her aunt Louisa in London, Catherine feels that everything she values has been stripped away from her. Louisa, a London surgeon who fought boldly for equality for women, holds strict views on the behavior of her young niece. She wants Catherine to pursue an education, just as she herself did. Catherine is rebellious, and Louisa finds it difficult to block painful memories from her past. It takes the enigmatic American banker Manfred Lear Black to convince Louisa to bring Catherine to New York where Catherine can train to become the first woman to swim the English Channel. And finally, Louisa begins to listen to what her own heart tells her"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women swimmers $v Fiction 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Fiction 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Sports $2 bisacsh 655 0 $a Sports stories 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020943.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714014842.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006110101.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171007010057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F43BDCA679211E7B26982C9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
