Sarah is drowning. Her marriage is crumbling, her job is in jeopardy, and she can't seem to keep her head above the rising tide of personal and professional crises. As she fights to maintain a veneer of normalcy, the cracks in her carefully constructed life begin to widen, exposing the painful truths she's long tried to ignore. With nowhere left to turn, Sarah must find the courage to confront her demons and chart a new course, even if it means risking everything. A poignant exploration of the fragility of the human experience, "Not Waving, Drowning" is a powerful story of one woman's journey to reclaim her life.
