He stopped and turned to see what the thing in the water was. He was still shielding his eyes and squinting when Sarah threw off her towels and dove in. That the thing was a person only registered when Sarah had reached it and begun expertly towing the body in a crosswise rescue pull.

About the author
Grace O'Connell
17 books47 followersI’m a Toronto-based writer and editor and the author of Magnified World (Random House, 2012). I’m represented by Martha Magor Webb at McDermid & Associates and my publicist is Ruta Liormonas at McClelland & Stewart.
My work has appeared in publications including The Walrus, Taddle Creek, the Globe & Mail, the National Post, Quill & Quire and the Journey Prize Stories. I’ve been nominated for the RBC Bronwen Wallace Award and two National Magazine Awards for fiction. Previously, I taught creative writing at George Brown College and I now teach at the University of Toronto. I also write a books column for This Magazine, work as a freelance writer, ride a crummy but beloved bike named Billy and chase after cats on the sidewalk to pet them.
I love to write about the ways in which people know and don’t know each other, ways in which we try to be happy, the lies and memories and homes we build and destroy and re-build, and the two big engines of interesting actions: fear and love. I like swimming in lakes, road trips where someone else drives, parking lot carnivals, walking in the woods, overly elaborate candy stores, and, of course, books.
