"Written with the same spirit and with as the bestselling 'Too Close to the Falls' and 'After the Falls', 'Coming Ashore' is the third and final volume of Catherine Gildiner's memoir series. Picking up her story in the late 60's at age twenty-one, Cathy whisks through seven years and three countries. Whether reciting verse in the classrooms of Oxford University, arranging a date with Jimi Hendrix, teaching inner city kids literature, rooming with a major drug dealer, working in a psychiatric hospital or falling in love, Cathy determinedly blazes her own trail through all the passion and uncertainty that comes with the cusp of adulthood."
