Tides

"I’m a degenerate, sneaky, old coot and proud of it," Jackie Cunningham proudly proclaims. With outrageous honesty and an unorthodox approach to life, Jackie embarks on a last important mission--giving her favorite niece the opportunity to engage in her own oceanographic research. While preparing for her niece's future, Jackie takes a final journey through her own memories as a child in WWII England, growing up in post-war Canada, and covering the most monumental and remarkable events of the twentieth century as a journalist. "Life starts so slowly in some small little tidal pool called home, but eventually you are pulled out to sea and as the years go by, the current moves you faster and faster until you are washed up on the beach with all the rest of the used flotsam and jetsam. It’s only then, when you have time, that you can look back on the journey and ask why."
