		<title>LOOKING OVER A WRITER&#8217;S SHOULDER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m deep into a new long project this time, a personal history for adult readers.  Although I’ve published two novels for adults (ISLAND JUSTICE, IN MY MOTHER’S HOUSE), this is the first time I’ve attempted a non-fiction memoir form.  It tells the story of my parents&#8217; love affair during WWII which includes sailing through the [...]]]></description>

		<title>DIGGING DEEPER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished a section of my new book. It tells the story of my father&#8217;s experience at the Groton School and I&#8217;m calling it SLACK AND WITHOUT FORM, a phrase lifted from one of the Headmaster&#8217;s reports to my grandparents about their son&#8217;s lackluster academic performance.   Most of this essay is based on letters [...]]]></description>

		<title>SETTING and CHARACTER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a fiction writer, I&#8217;ve always like to visit the setting where my story takes place. For example,  in my recent novel, Counting on Grace, the book really came to life when I found the site of the mill where my character had doffed bobbins in 1910.  Many times I went back there to listen [...]]]></description>

		<title>RESEARCH ON THE WEB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I bemoan how much time the Web and the Internet seem to steal from my real work which is putting one sentence down after another.  Other times, I’m grateful. Today I&#8217;m grateful. I knew that even though my mother had qualified to take the exams for Oxford University in 1942, because it was wartime [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by a famous Lewis Hine photograph, Elizabeth Winthrop&#8217;s latest book is set in a Vermont mill town in 1910, when child labor was common, and a bright, eager girl had to struggle to receive an education. Against a backdrop of callous mill owners, national calls for labor reform, and a family that can barely [...]]]></description>
