520    "It's June 2012 at the magical and slightly cultish River 
       Run swim club when a perfect storm brews between team moms
       and best friends, Gillian Cloud and Kristy Weinstein. The 
       ghost of family addiction has turned up, looming over 
       their carefully planned pasta parties, tie-dye nights, and
       pep rallies, forcing them to face their unresolved 
       childhood trauma. Gillian responds by trying to control 
       everyone around her, and Kristy relapses into her 
       dangerous addiction to love. Real sparks fly the night the
       derecho-a freak land hurricane-sweeps through Northern 
       Virginia, knocking out power for days. The storm sets fire
       to a tinder box of secrets, leaving Gillian and Kristy 
       alone in the hot dark, their only company their shame. In 
       the vein of Little Fires Everywhere, the characters in 
       Swimming with Ghosts discover that sometimes ashes make 
       the best fertilizer for planting new fields and that they 
       have the power to dodge the history they fear they are 
       doomed to repeat. At times satirical, this book club novel
       captures the ethos and the ruin of any children's 
       competitive sport or activity where parents work out their
       demons and in turn lose their way"--|cProvided by
