Deborah Bowen lives in Hamilton, ON, and teaches English at Redeemer University College. She has now spent half her life in Canada and half (the first half) in the U.K., and becomes ever more conscious of her existence as a hyphenated citizen. The Canadian half is the more vividly alive at this time of year, since Ontario fall colours are a miracle of strident brilliance compared with the subtler, more subdued British hues: a cultural parable here, perhaps?
Deborah's husband John is Director of the Institute for Evangelism in Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto; her two kids are both outside-the-box creative people with dear and much beloved spouses, and the first grandchild seems to have all the same genes.
