The Margo Chronicles is a playful romp through the first year of retirement for Margo and Michael, suburbanites who have unwittingly dropped themselves into a tiny, rural community in British Columbia. Their dream of escaping the city to pursue a simpler way of life in the country meets the reality of living in Wannatoka Springs, a remote community in the Kootenays.

CJ has created a delightfully quirky cast of characters seen through the eyes of Margo, a newly retired teacher who finds her identity and her assumptions about retirement challenged at every turn. Tales of unlikely interactions with neighbours and unforeseen predicaments keep the reader chuckling at how this conventional couple handles the curve balls that come their way. Wannatoka Springs is a fictitious village in the Kootenays, but bears a distinct resemblance to the tiny, rural community in the Kootenays where the author and her partner retired. The adventures are based on the author's embellishments of (nearly) true-life experiences.
