Touched: The Marin Morrison Story by Matt Morrison

Touched: The Marin Morrison Story by Matt Morrison

Touched ~ The Marin Morrison Story, a new release through Barnes & Noble Publishing, is a father’s tribute to how an uncommonly sweet, gentle, and unassuming young girl might be the toughest person you could ever know. This is the journey of a young USA athlete who’s determination to swim at The Water Cube in Beijing inspired a tidal wave of courage that reached around the world.

From splashing around as a true waterbaby to a promising teenage swimmer with very real Olympic prospects, Marin would not be deterred in the face of a devestating diagnosis. Her plan to swim at The Water Cube in Beijing, 2008, was not a wish - and more than hope, it was Marin’s quest; it was her destiny.

Touched captures this extraordinary balance of talent, resilience, and heart. Through a medical drama to the pinnacle of athletic endurance, Marin’s story redefines what it means to be a champion. Along the way, the collective soul of a support system is illuminated in how so many followers shared in the sweetness and sadness of Marin’s journey.

Mr. Morrison offers readers not only the intimate portrait of a young girl - a special soul, his daughter - with her legacy of incredible athletic achievement, but also a timeless reminder that true triumph lies in perseverance, community and love.
