Sandra Scofield divides her time between Missoula, Montana, and Portland, Oregon, USA. She has written seven novels, a memoir, and a craft book for writers. An excerpt from Mysteries of Love and Grief won first place in Narrative magazine’s 2014 Spring Story Contest. She is an avid landscape painter.
Throughout her depiction of her own family, Scofield kept me
surprised--a moment of generosity when I didn't expect it or of
anger when I didn't expect that. Mysteries remain as they must, but
I trusted the insights as well as the mysteries. I thought it was a
very beautiful book, smart and sharp.
--Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside
Ourselves and The Jane Austen Book Club Largely ungoverned by
chronology, Scofield's journey of discovery unfolds organically,
true to the way memory works. Seeking to know her grandmother, she
honors the lives and artistic bent of many women marginalized by
gender and poverty in the early to mid-twentieth century. This is a
unique and necessary work.
--Lorraine M. López, author of Homicide Survivors Picnic and Other
Stories and The Darling
