Boston, Mass.: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1998, 181pp., very good dust-jacket, cover price $18.99, very good square green cloth, book appears unused. Using family photographs and quotes from her books, the author provides glimpses into her life. - "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." People are constantly asking Newbery medalist Lois Lowry where she gets her ideas. In this fascinating memoir Lowry answers many of these questions, through recollections of childhood friends and pictures and memories that explore her rich family history. She recounts the pivotal moments that inspired her writing, describing how they magically turned into fiction along the complicated passageway called life. Lowry fans, as well as anyone interested in understanding the process of writing fiction, will benefit from this poignant trip through the past and the present of a remarkable writer. 9780395895436 ISBN 039589543X.
