Stunning Images. Reflections. Connections. A visual journey that takes you around the world to some of the most beautiful swimming pools. DiMaggio assembled a collection of more than 100 images, interlaced with writings of her own “contained” journey.
A cousin of the famous Joe DiMaggio, Debbi appeals to those who live with the pressures of careers, family expectations and a calling to be more than who they are; hoping that contained beauty will inspire readers. “The way pools are contained by cement, I put boundaries around myself, real or imagined. Sharing this with you has opened my life to more joy.”
Beneath the surface of this book is a secondary and telling purpose. The net proceeds of contained beauty are dedicated to the George Mark Children’s House and its aquatics program. http://www.georgemark.org
