In Lynn Barry's evocative novel, The Swing, Sheryn finds herself trapped in an oppressive marriage with her high school sweetheart, Derek. Isolated from the world without a phone, car, or social outings, Sheryn's only solace is the tree swing in her yard. With each pump of her legs and flex of her arms, she momentarily escapes her troubles, soaring above her stifling reality.
Everything changes when she meets Nicoletta, a charismatic and complex individual grappling with his own identity as Nick. Through this unlikely friendship, Sheryn discovers the strength to reclaim her life. Encouraged by Nicoletta / Nick's bravery and support, she finds the courage to confront her fears, leave Derek, and seek refuge with her loving aunt.
The Swing is a powerful tale of self-discovery and resilience, highlighting the transformative power of friendship and the importance of embracing one's true self. Sheryn's journey from entrapment to freedom will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the need to break free and soar.
