Explanation:
Tracey E. Fern's "America’s Best Girl" revolves around the story of Gertrude “Trudy” Ederle, a 19-year-old swimmer hopeful of crossing the English Channel. The young swimmer will not only become the first woman to swim the Channel but also the fastest person to do so.
Despite the rough weather and unfavorable conditions, Trudy resisted giving up, instead, focusing on the way ahead and swam for <em>"fourteen hours and thirty-one minutes." </em>Her efforts paid off and she succeeded in crossing the Channel, though not without any repercussion.
