Description
Trish Kearney's memoir, Above Water, recounts her harrowing experience as a teenager at the hands of internationally recognised swimming coach George Gibney. At 13, her idyllic childhood was brutally ended when Gibney began abusing her. The trauma was so profound that it took years for her to come to terms with what happened. Six years later, Kearney's life was forever changed when she sacrificed a promising swimming career to walk free from her abuser. In the aftermath of her abuse, suppressed memories resurfaced after the birth of her first child, prompting a journey of healing and self-discovery. This powerful memoir shines a light into dark places, revealing the healing power of love, family, and one woman's indomitable spirit. Through Above Water, Kearney shares her story with unflinching honesty, shedding light on the abuse she suffered at Gibney's hands and the long road to recovery that followed.
