Olympic Swimmer Coming to Lincoln

Amanda Beard rose to fame as the second youngest swimmer in history to medal with one gold and two silvers. Outside the pool, she faced hidden struggles with depression, body image and self-worth. She opens up about her mental health, finding her voice over time, seeking help and learning effective coping skills. Her story reminds audiences of all ages that even the strongest people can struggle and that healing is possible. 

Amanda will sign copies of her book "In the Water They Can’t See You Cry" after the event. Purchase at event from Francie & Finch Bookshop.
