Meet Halle. A young brilliant black woman with a passion for writing. When Halle first left school, she'd had aspirations of pursuing her longtime dream only to wound up Assistant to the editor in Chief at a local magazine. That's life for you ... A big sloppy ball of humour. It didn't help that her boss was the neighbourhood Scrooge either. One day, she finds a letter left her mailbox and though it wasn't addressed to her, it may just change her life forever. Meet Nate. A workaholic and the young C.E.O of Bane Industries. In his few years, Nate's been searching for love the likes of what his parents shared and had told him about so many times before but hasn't found it yet. Instead, he entertains relations with a socialite. He had everything anyone could want for, and yet he had nothing at all. While on a spur-of-the-moment vacation planned by his secretary, Nate writes a love-letter that may just bring him closer to what he's been looking for. They live two completely different lives ... but love transcends all bounds, doesn't it? At least, that's what the elderly say. What do you think? Can they work? Why don't you read to find out?

During the first 30 years of my journalistic career in the second half of the 20th century, good jobs of all kinds were available all over Canada. Those of us born in the 1930s and early '40s were in great demand because our generation was very small when the post-World War II boom began. I earned generous fees working mainly freelance at home or in the offices of clients. "GLIMPSES..." is the story of all the stories my work involved: the who, what, when, where, why, and how of people I met, our society's attitudes, my networks, lessons learned, mistakes made, many good times and some very bad ones. I hope to reveal how it felt to be a Canadian worker from the 1950s until about 2000, to provide perspective on why those years were the way they were, and perhaps offer clues as to how they led us to Now. (Note that chapters become shorter as the tale grows longer.)
