There is so much to be learned even from a wildlife perspective, the author takes us along as she begins with her morning swim and the fulfilling morning unfolds in a natural way, in keeping with her habits of training to be physically and mentally fit.
I was impressed with her maturity, amazingly at the young age of 17, and the discipline and initiative to excel at accomplishing more thru her efforts than the average youth of her age.
