'The brave and inspiring memoir of one of Australian Swimming's Golden Girls, whose extraordinary achievements masked her private battles with anxiety and depression.

'Libby Trickett represented Australia at three Olympic Games, winning four gold medals, in a career that established her as one of our greatest athletes. Yet behind the incredible achievements and that warm trademark smile, Libby suffered crippling anxiety and depression. Her memoir is an extraordinarily candid and open account of both her public life as one of swimming's Golden Girls, and her very private battles to overcome her mental health challenges. It's revealing, compelling and inspiring, and will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with mental health issues.' (Publication summary)
