Between The Tides

Between The Tides was a delightful read by Patti Callahan Henry about looking back on our past experiences as children and learning to accept and understand them from an adult perspective. Well, maybe I'm making it sound deeper than it really is. Catherine Leary returns to the home she knew for her first 12 years to scatter her father's ashes and discovers how the past that has shaped her adult life was not really as she remembered or perceived. She deals with the guilt from her childhood and in the process of forgiving herself finds the courage to find real love as and adult. I definitely recommend it.
