I grew up in the shadow of Georgian Bay with my nose in a book, went to school in Montreal, tree-planted in Northern Ontario and wound up as a magazine editor in Toronto. My first book, Into the Blue, is a creative non-fiction work about a 1906 Great Lakes shipwreck that devastated my family. I live in Toronto with a houseful of boys. “The Writers’ Circle” recalls a time when I yearned to write more, imagining that committing words to paper would not only free me, but might also offer solace to the profoundly marginalized at a Toronto women’s shelter.
