  Water Borne - A 1200-Mile...

  In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters.
  		 
  But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.
  		 
  Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.

  Strength and sacrifice. Toughness and tenderness. Success and struggles. These elements—ever present in the world of sports—are also among the beautiful and challenging dichotomies at the heart of working motherhood.  
    
  Tough as a Mother tackles motherhood in a whole new way, bringing all moms up close and personal with some of the biggest names in sports while showcasing the shared strengths—the Tough Mother Tenets—that empower us all.  
    
  U.S. Soccer star Alex Morgan; Olympic swimmer Dara Torres; Hall of  Fame broadcaster Andrea Kremer; WWE Superstar Becky Lynch; and award-winning journalist, producer, and director Hannah Storm headline an All-Star roster of tough mothers who share insight with readers through candid, vulnerable conversations. They come to you not as famous athletes, TV personalities, or professional movers and shakers but simply as fellow working mothers who share with you their very personal stories and give you a glimpse of some of the real challenges they’ve faced in their quest to “have it all.” These rock star mothers will become your sisters in arms, kindred spirits who know what you’re feeling as you try to find a place in the office to pump or step out of a meeting to take a call from a frenzied babysitter.  
    
  By turns wry, self-deprecating, heartfelt, and exuberant, this empowering anthology invites readers to destroy the myth of perfection, redefine the concept of balance, and help all mothers feel strong and supported.  
    
  “This book by Jenn Hildreth and Aimee Leone is pure GOLD (which is fitting as 'Liquid Gold' is what I used to call my breast milk). These are stories of moms’ not-so-glamorous moments that are so often untold yet need to be heard. You will laugh, you will relate, and most importantly, you will be reminded of the radness and madness that comes with being a MOM. And yes, all moms wear capes.”—Julie Foudy, ESPN Analyst, two-time FIFA World Cup Champion and Olympic Champion Gold Medalist United States Soccer Player
