Publisher's Summary
On September 2, 2013, at the age of 64, Diana Nyad emerged onto the
sands of Key West after swimming 111 miles, nation to nation, Cuba to
Florida, in an epic feat of both endurance and human will, in 53 hours.
Diana carried three poignant messages on her way across this stretch
of shark-infested waters, and she spoke them to the crowd in her moment
of final triumph:
- Never, ever give up.
- You're never too old to chase your dreams.
- It looks like a solitary sport, but it's a team.
Millions of people around the world cheered this maverick on, moved
by her undeniable tenacity to be the first to make the historic crossing
without the aid of a shark cage. At the end of her magnificent journey,
after 35 years and four crushing failures, the public found hope in
Diana's perseverance. They were inspired by her mantra - find a way
- that led her to realize a dream in her 60s that had eluded her as
a young champion in peak form.
In Find a Way, Diana engages us with a unique, passionate story of this
heroic adventure and the extraordinary life experiences that have served
to carve her unwavering spirit.
Diana was a world champion in her 20s, setting the record for swimming
around Manhattan Island along with other ocean-swim achievements, all
of which rendered her a star at the time. Back then, she made the first
attempt at the Mount Everest of swims, the Cuba Swim, but after 42 hours
and 79 miles she was blown desperately off course. Her dream unfulfilled,
she didn't swim another stroke for three decades.
