The memoir Remembering Bette is a tribute to the author's sister, Bette Hushla Levine, who died of Covid-19 in April 2020. Bette was a competitive swimmer in the 1950's and 1960's and was the fourth fastest woman backstroke swimmer in the world at the time. She was the first - and last - woman on the men's swim team at West Virginia University, but the controversy she created only helped promote women's sports. Bette was not only a champion swimmer but also a gifted musician, a voracious reader, a fun-loving aunt, a pushy and outspoken big sister, a dedicated co-worker, a friend to those in despair, a five-time cancer survivor, a loving mother whose only daughter died of cancer at the age of 43, and a lover of cats and all animals This is her incredible life story told by her only sister. It is a story of happy times and sadness and the triumph of sisterly love and its enduring healing power.
