The Call

&ldquo;Toes to the nose, knees to the chin, Diane Cardwell&rsquo;s memoir about learning to surf in midlife shows us how to pop up again and again, with style.&rdquo; &mdash;Jill Eisenstadt, author of From Rockaway and Swell&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &ldquo;Diane Cardwell&rsquo;s Rockaway is a remarkably moving, entertaining, honest and heartening memoir of reinvention and resilience.&rdquo; &mdash;Francine Prose, author of Blue Angel and What to Read and Why&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Becoming someone new is hard work. Diane Cardwell does not stint. With a reporter&rsquo;s eye for detail, and rare honesty, she pushes through heartache, self-consciousness, long-held fears, Hurricane Sandy, and innumerable walls of white water. Her progress toward surfing skillfully, love, and an unlikely community is a deeply satisfying ride.&rdquo; &mdash;William Finnegan, author of Barbarian Days&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Diane Cardwell&rsquo;s Rockaway is so invigorating that it makes you want to get outside, try something new, live more fully and freely. This story of a woman following her passion is an inspiring reminder about the possibilities of renewal and reinvention.&rdquo; &mdash;Tova Mirvis, author of The Book of Separation&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Surfing is hard, wild, daring, and sometimes dangerous; so is life after heartbreak and divorce. Bravely, Diane Cardwell pushed herself to embrace the unknown&mdash;in many ways&mdash;and find a new form. What she also found, among the surfers at Rockaway Beach, was joy and community. Rockaway is the inspiring story of her discovery and mastery of a new life.&rdquo; &mdash;Liza Mundy, author of Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;In this eloquent narrative, the author offers a moving portrait of a woman in search of herself as well as a joyful celebration of physicality, friendship, and the art of surfing. A bighearted and uplifting memoir.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Poignant. Written with a warm and conversational style, this is an unusual story of personal triumph, insight into what makes a community stronger, and a reminder that perceived limitations are often self-imposed . . . An offbeat, uplifting account . . . engaging.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Cardwell&rsquo;s moving story washes over the reader with its emotionally rich portrayal of the ragged ways we can embrace our vulnerabilities in order to overcome them.&rdquo; &mdash;BookPage&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Readers don&rsquo;t have to surf to be taken away by Cardwell&rsquo;s story . . . A rich account of living through . . . disaster and rebuilding in its aftermath.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;A moving memoir about reshaping your own destiny.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Post, &ldquo;30 best summer books to help you escape 2020&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;This memoir busts a lot of stereotypes in a delightful way . . . Rockaway is not just a story about starting over, it&rsquo;s also a treatise on tenacity, on grabbing something you want and absolutely, stubbornly refusing to let go, no matter where it takes you. What an unexpected and inspiring book.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star-Tribune
