Swimming Between Worlds gives a unique glimpse into life in Winston-Salem, North Carolina during the American Civil Rights Movement. Tacker has just returned home following a brief time of employment in Africa and is having trouble leaving all his experiences behind in order to fit in again in North Carolina. Kate is still reeling from the loss of both parents and is trying to find her way in a changing world. These two young people find love and each other through these tumultuous times.
I enjoyed the story but found it plodding along at some points. I did feel the author did an excellent job conveying the feelings at that time and providing insight into the many conflicting emotions and stereotypes held. The characters were well developed and engaging. I was dissatisfied with the ending and felt the pacing for the end of the story did not match up with the pacing throughout the book.
