DOG DAYS: BETWEEN THE LINES (with Carol Matthews)
In the summer of 2001, Liza Potvin, a single mother, writer, and academic, took her two children to a monastery in India where she taught English to Tibetan Buddhist monks. Carol Matthews,a writer and consultant, community worker and retired academic, remained at home on a small island on Canada's West Coast with her husband, Mike, and Victor, an energetic terrier puppy rescued by Liza and her children before their departure. The email between Liza and Carol reflects global tensions that arose as the world heated up after September 11, 2001, and the uncertainties that were arising in the personal lives of the writers, along with the adventures and insights of the errant puppy, Victor.
". . . two candles: articulate, funny, occasionally wrong-headed, but always searching for what is right -- and with such light." - Marilyn Bowering
