In Ellen’s own words – a quote from her unfinished novel The Grandview Arms:

Betty speaking about Mac

“…It makes me feel an odd sense of panic. I didn’t know her well, but loved the music of her writing…  To go away and take such a gift out of the world, seems like a sacrilege to me…   Am I doing enough to open up my own life?”

Originally a Vancouver Island, Canada native, Jil and her husband traveled the world for his work as a photographer. They had the privilege of living in several countries, some of which became the inspirations for settings in Jil’s books.
