Order of Lawrence Hill Books
Lawrence Hill is a Canadian author of fiction and non-fiction books, in addition to being a journalist. His writing mostly deals with identity issues, being that his parents were a mixed race couple who emigrated from Washington, D.C. in 1953. Lawrence has originally dreamed of becoming an Olympic runner, but he never fulfilled that dream, despite years of training. Instead, he became writing on his mother’s typewriter and finished his first story at 14. Lawrence earned his B.A. in economics from Laval University in Quebec City and his M.A. in writing from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Having grown up in Don Mills, Ontario, he has lived and worked all across Canada, as well as Baltimore, Spain and France. Lawrence splits his time with his family between Hamilton, Ontario and Woody Point, Newfoundland.
