Description

Set during the 1995 referendum in Quebec, Jump follows the story of Myra Grant, a free-lance journalist and theatre buff who faces an empty nest and an inner call for change. Dragged down by friends and enemies alike, weary from decades of single motherhood, she breaks loose from an old life and embraces a new.
