Picking up her story in the late '60s at age 21, Cathy Gildiner
whisks the reader through five years and three countries, beginning
when she is a poetry student at Oxford. Her education extended
beyond the classroom to London's swinging Carnaby Street, the
mountains of Wales, and a posh country estate.
After Oxford, Cathy returns to Cleveland, Ohio, which was still
reeling from the Hough Ghetto Riots. Not one to shy away from a
challenge, she teaches at a high school where police escort
teachers through the parking lot, trying to engage apathetic
students and tussling with the education authorities.
In 1970, Cathy moves to Canada. While studying literature at the
University of Toronto, she rooms with members of the FLQ (Quebec
separatists) and then with one of the biggest drug dealers in
Canada. Along the way, she falls in love with the man who
eventually became her husband and embarks on a new career in
psychology.
Coming Ashore brings readers back to a fascinating era populated by
lively characters, but most memorable of all is the singular Cathy
McClure.
