"I would like to introduce you to this book. It has no plot. It is about moments, memories, fragments, falsehoods, and fantasies. It is about things that happened, which caused other things to happen, so that eventually stories emerged." Children as well as adults often ask Lois Lowry where the ideas for her stories came from. In this fascinating, moving autobiography, the Newbery Medalist answers this and many other questions. Her writing often transports readers into her own world. She explores her rich history through family pictures, memories, and recollections of childhood friends. She details pivotal moments that affected her life, inspired her writing, and that magically evolved into rich and wonderful stories that one is reluctant to put down. Lowry fans, and anyone interested in the writing process, will tremendously enjoy this poignant trip through a remarkable writer's past.
Lois Lowry is my favorite author of all time. The Giver has always been an important book to me. So when I found out about this book I was ecstatic to read it. I read it in one sitting. It is much different than what you would usually expect from a memoir or biography. There is no order to the events in this book. It honestly feels like I just sat in Lois Lowry's living room, while she flips through a photo album of her life and tells stories. It was beautiful to read a memoir about her life in this way.
