Summary
Focuses on young Peter Caine. The fifteen years' separation for Caine and Peter after the destruction of the temple was a time of difficulty and trial. For Caine it was a time of wandering, searching for the essence of his son. For Peter, it was much more. Torn at age twelve from the only life he'd known, young Peter Caine suddenly found himself in the midst of a world about which he knew very little. The real world was nothing like a Shaolin temple, not even like he'd imagined it would be. Peter struggled to fit into his new life, the crowded, lonely world of the orphanage and the state child welfare system, until a cop named Paul Blaisdell took an interest in Peter and changed his life forever.... Child of the Moving Tide contains sixteen stories, beginning with Peter in the orphanage, meeting the Blaisdells, continuing through his teenage years which helped forge the adult Peter who was reunited with his real father in "Initiation."

From the Editorial
This epic started with a small idea — a kernel in a small story "Family Matters". And from there, it sort of grew. We've seen Peter at the temple, and we know Peter now, but we were intrigued by the idea of Peter during those crucial adolescent years, as he struggled to reconcile his past with his present (a struggle which continues to this day) and tried to make himself fit in with his new family. We wanted to see the kid who became the adult we met in the pilot.
Writing together from 2,000 miles apart has its difficulties (though MCI loves us lots!). Several people and things made this effort possible, several more made it fun. The aforementioned MCI, and GEnie allowed us to communicate, removing the most difficult of the distance obstacles. The advent of Max and Erma (our respective notebook computers) in our lives made it even easier. Our good friend Kate Nuernberg was kind enough to read the cycle and like it well enough to be willing to publish it. For that, and for her invaluable editing assistance, we are eternally grateful.
