From the Back Cover:
The Waters of Our Time describes, in words and pictures, what the authors have seen and known and felt deeply about the interior and exterior worlds that shape our memory. The elderly woman who narrates the book recalls her life against the backdrop of the houses, storefronts, street corners, and schoolyards of her hometown, Brooklyn. As she attempts to make sense of her choices and experiences, we are shown that as our personal history settles through the filter of time, the things that stay with us and the things we fight to hold on to become all we know of our own life story.
