She loves living in Gibsons, which is why she is distraught to learn that her mother is thinking about selling their house and moving the two of them to Vancouver, which she sees as providing them greater opportunity. Beyond the marine work which Pat cannot get to which he forwards to her, Jenny hopes to be able to provide for herself and her mother in Gibsons through other work. That other work becomes more important when Jenny learns that Pat could have done the work given to her, but that he was trying to give her a sense of self sufficiency. This revelation, which she considers charity, places a strain between her and her friends: Pat, Graham and Sara. The additional work which she does get is for Sal at the newspaper on a trial basis. The story on which she wants to work is the reason for the spate of dead fish found near the new development happening at Starlight Bay. When she reported what she saw to John, he found nothing upon investigation. But when the development lawyer threatens legal action if the newspaper prints anything libelous against them, which makes Sal more cautious, Jenny is more determined than ever to find out what's going on. But she realizes that she will require the help of her friends, that is if they are still speaking to her. Written by Huggo See less
