Tides of Truth
On a summer day in 2018, Christine Blasey Ford found herself at a beach in Santa Cruz, immersed in the coastal atmosphere while her sons participated in the Junior Lifeguard Program. The air was tinged with the scent of seaweed and sunscreen, and her blue-dyed hair signified a break from her teaching duties.

Amidst her preoccupation with the news of a Thai soccer team trapped in a cave, another headline surfaced, announcing the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. It mentioned a name that Christine had long tried to suppress from her memory.
While discussing current events with her beach companions, Kirsten and Jim, Christine found herself confiding in them about a traumatic high school incident involving the man who was now a potential Supreme Court nominee. Their conversation touched on various options, from reaching out to him discreetly to allowing him to demonstrate his character. The thought of involving lawyers or the media was overwhelming, as Christine dreaded the kind of publicity that other women in similar situations had endured.

Kirsten and Christine shared personal stories, weighing their right to speak out. When it came to the topic of sexual assault, they agreed that Christine's experience was incomparable to any past misdeeds. Jim's musings on personal change led to the conclusion that Christine needed to speak up.
Christine contemplated reaching out to a senator, leveraging her understanding of Washington politics to ensure her story reached the right people before the nomination was finalized.
