Lois Lowry Author Page

Lois Lowry is an amazing woman who has literally been through the war and back.  Her life has made her a very strong woman and it is obvious in her work.  Lois Lowry is a complex person who has a lot of parts to her.  She is made up of many emotions and her writing reflects her life and her passions.  From her life before writing, to her writing creations, to why she writes what she does, her life and her career are fascinating.  As I studied Lois Lowry I was able to slowly peal away the layers that make her so special and in doing so, I discovered a very unique individual.

“Time goes on, and your life is still there, and you have to live it.  After a while you remember the good things more often than the bad.  Then, gradually, the empty silent parts of you fill up with sounds of talking and laughing again, and the jagged edges of sadness are softened by memories.”
- Lois Lowry
