1 Lois Lowry was born Lois Hammersberg in Honolulu, Hawaii on March 20 th, She was born the middle of three children, Helen (deceased 1977) and Jon. Her father was a U.S. Army dentist and she lived in New York, Pennsylvania, and Japan during her childhood. At age 19, she married Donald Lowry, a U.S. Navy officer. Together they moved frequently and lived in California, Connecticut, Florida, South Carolina, Massachusetts, and Maine. Her and her husband had four children, Grey (deceased 1995), Benjamin, Alix, and Kristin. Lowry obtained her Master s degree in English Literature from the University of Southern Maine in She wrote her first book, A Summer to Die, a fictionalized retelling of the early death of her sister, shortly after. Houghton Mifflin published the book in Later that year Lowry and her husband divorced. She soon met Martin Small and they spent 30 years together until he passed away in the spring of Lowry was awarded a Newbery Medal in 1990 (Number the Stars) and in 1994 (The Giver). When asked about her writing, Lowry stated, My books have varied in content and style. Yet it seems that all of them deal, essentially, with the same general theme: the importance of human connections. The Giver quartet is broader in scope than my earlier books, but it nonetheless speaks to the same concern: the vital need of people to be aware of their interdependence, not only with each other, but also with the world and its environment. I try, through writing, to convey my passionate awareness that we live intertwined on this planet and that our future depends upon our caring more, and doing more, for one another. Lowry currently resides in Massachusetts and enjoys reading, spending time with her grandchildren, and playing with her Tibetan terrier, Alfie.
