Completed just before just before her death in 1945, Growing Pains is Emily Carr's carefully-crafted portrait of an artist: her girlhood in Victoria, B.C.; her training as a painter; the initial rejection and eventual acceptance of her painting by the Canadian people. This autobiographical collection is invaluable for revealing the face she wanted to show the world and the rich texture of her life.

About the Author:
Emily Carr, generally considered Canada's most famous woman painter, was born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871 and died there in 1945. She was an unusually gifted woman renowned not only for her magnificent paintings, but for her extraordinarily vivid and imaginative prose. She began writing late in life when she was forced by failing health to curtail her sketching activities. Her first book, Klee Wyck, was an instant success and won a Governor General's award.
