Hillary Clinton said that Find a Way would stay with her through the general election: "When you´re facing big challenges in your life, you can think about Diana Nyad getting attacked by the lethal sting of box jellyfishes. And nearly anything else seems doable in comparison."

When Diana Nyad arrived on the shore of Key West after fifty-three hours of grueling swimming across an epic ocean, she not only set a world record-becoming the first person to swim the shark-infested waters between Cuba and Florida with no cage for protection-she also succeeded in fulfilling a dream she first chased at age twenty-eight and at long last achieved when she was sixty-four.

Now, in a riveting memoir, Diana shares a spirited account of what it takes to face one´s fears, engage one´s passions, and never ever give up. For no matter what life may throw at you, or how many times you may have experienced defeat, it is always possible-as long as you commit to living life to the nth degree, no regrets-to "find a way."
