I Found My Tribe

An invocation to all of us to love as hard as we can, and live even harder, I Found My Tribe is an urgent and uplifting letter to a husband, family, friends, the natural world and the brightness of life.

Ruth’s tribe are her lively children and her filmmaker husband, Simon, who has Motor Neurone Disease and can only communicate with his eyes. Ruth’s other ‘tribe’ are the friends who gather at the cove in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, and regularly throw themselves into the freezing cold water, just for kicks.

‘The Tragic Wives’ Swimming Club’, as they jokingly call themselves, meet to cope with the extreme challenges life puts in their way, not to mention the monster waves rolling over the horizon.

‘I Found My Tribe is inspiring, humbling and a picture of what love really looks like’ Marian Keyes

EXCELLENT

The passion was palpable and the reader full of compassion, energy, talent and the ability to keep me engaged for one whole day

.

narration was glorious. Thank you for sharing your story. tough topic and experience. recommended read

Beautiful story, beautifully read, poorly edited

I loved the book, which I found to be sensitively written, deeply human and with enough humour to highlight the sorrow. It was beautifully read and I loved her voice, but it was so poorly edited that breathing and mouth-noise wasn't reduced or cut out and the pauses were all wrong. It was quite disturbing and distracting to have to listen to a lengthy pause between sentences in the same paragraph, but no pause between the end and beginning of a new chapter. It detracted from what was otherwise a perfect performance.

This is a treasure

Tender, all out take no prisoners funny, heartbreaking and completely remarkable. Can't imagine anyone else narrating.

Beautiful read!

So tender and real.......from the deepest part of her heart. Thank you for being so vulnerable.
