Lisa Dale Norton
Lisa Dale Norton (born July 8, 1956) is an American author best known as a writer of literary nonfiction and creative nonfiction. She is the great-niece of Evelyn Maurine Norton Lincoln, U.S. President John F. Kennedy's personal secretary.〔“JFK Secretary Evelyn Lincoln Dies at 85.” ''The Washington Post'', May 13, 1995.〕 Norton makes her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.〔Steinberg, David. “Everyone's Memoir Gets 15 Minutes,” ''Albuquerque Sunday Journal'', August 12, 2008.〕
==Early life==
Norton grew up in Osceola, Nebraska,〔Bartels, Alan J. “Shimmering Images: A Handy Little Guide to Writing Memoir,” Nebraska Life, July/August 2009, page 53.〕 the daughter of Judge William Hayden Norton and Nancy Rogers Sayre Norton. Her father was a prominent member of the Democratic Party in that state, grandson of Congressman John Nathaniel Norton,〔Norton, Lisa Dale. Hawk Flies Above: Journey to the Heart of the Sandhills, St. Martin’s Press, New York, New York, 1996, page 10.〕 and nephew to Evelyn Norton Lincoln, John F. Kennedy’s personal secretary from his years in the Senate to his assassination in Dallas. Lisa’s mother was a gifted artist and newspaper editor. Restless and a non-conformist, she presented her two children with a broad palette of ideas and the freedom to explore them.〔Norton (1996), pages 3-56.〕 The combination of political connections and free-thinking home life nurtured an environment of possibility that led Norton from the public schools in Osceola to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where she earned a B.A. degree. Norton completed her M.A. at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, which she attended before the development of a university nonfiction writing program. Norton submitted a creative thesis, a work of literary journalism, in the School of Mass Communications and Journalism. That piece of writing—''One Horse Town''—became the genesis of her book ''Hawk Flies Above: Journey to the Heart of the Sandhills'' (Picador USA/St. Martin’s Press).〔Heltzel, Ellen Emry. “Finding a Purpose and a Literary Voice,” ''The Sunday Oregonian'', January 19, 1997.〕
