Autoren-Porträt von Marion May Hand
Marion May HandWhen traveling in Northwestern United States, the author had the opportunity to speak to a fellow traveler who was a lumberjack. She thought that children hear stories about common careers, such as doctors, policemen, teachers, and farmers, but hardly ever about a lumberjack. At a later date, she sat her computer to write that story.
She found that even children's literature requires research. Delving into that research, she discovered an abundance of material. However, she soon knew that a different story was emerging. IN SEARCH OF SELF is that adult novel that was created, using the same lumber mill setting.
The author had resided in New England until retiring to Florida. As a teacher she was always interested in passing on information, but not in a didactic sense. She called this method of education, painless learning. Traveling is one way of learning by using little effort. However, losing oneself in a good novel is an even a better way. Late in life, one undone deed kept prodding at the author. One always hears that there is a good book in everyone. IN SEARCH OF SELF is her manuscript
