Paperback planned release date: May 2024

A humorous and heartfelt book about the complicated relationship between a mother, a daughter, and a grandmother.

Gabrielle Malone shows up on her mother’s Arizona doorstep with nothing more than a few belongings, her teenage daughter, and a car with no air conditioning (don’t ask). The rest she left behind—her house, everything she owned, and her ex-husband. Her estranged mother Ida, a former Olympic swimmer and current chain smoker, needs her help after a significant health scare. Gabrielle hopes this is their relationship’s opportunity for a fresh start, and a new beginning for her too.

Learning to Swim is a mothers and daughters book about three women at different stages of life and generations mending relationships. Shayla Dugan’s debut novel in the humorous women’s fiction genre is a delightful read full of insight, wisdom, and wit.

I originally met Shalya through a Twitter pitchfest where writers submit their work to editors and agents across the globe. After reading her manuscript I knew she was destined for great things. Shayla’s storytelling is warm and inviting, with a dose of realistic humor that gets me every time. I had a lovely time editing her work and am elated that her book is nearing publication.

The presale is available is for ebook on kindle, nook, apple, and other ereaders. The paperback will be available to purchase on the actual book release date in May 2024, just in time for summer beach reading. Grab it now and you’ll have Shayla’s book ready to read on launch day!
