Shields Rhapsody

An ode to a great talent.

Carol Shields commitment to redeeming the lives of the lost; viewed writing as a form of redemption.

She wrote passionately every day; elevating the ordinary to a position of prominence.

Life was a mystery for her; every new day awaited new puzzles & mazes to be solved.

A woman born of another land; but loved Canada.

She met her pulitzer prize win with restraint; a puzzle to some.

She lived her life as she wrote; with wit & compassion.
