Sigrid MacDonald Author Bio

Her first book, Getting Hip: Recovery from a Total Hip Replacement, was published in 2004. Her second book, Be Your Own Editor, followed in 2010. Although Finding Lisa is written in first person, Macdonald only resembles her character in the sense that she once had a neurotic fixation on her hair, and she has always been called by the wrong name; instead of being called Sigrid, people have called her Susan, Sharon, Astrid, Ingrid and, her personal favorite, Siri. Macdonald is a social activist who has spent decades working on the seemingly disparate issues of women’s rights and wrongful convictions; she has worked at the Women’s Center at Ramapo College of New Jersey and Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, and was a member of AIDWYC, The Association in Defense of the Wrongly Convicted. She owns an editing company called Book Magic.

Sigrid is a public speaker and a member of Mothers against Drunk Driving, Ottawa Independent Writers, the American Association of University Women, and the Editors; Association of Canada.

Read Chick Lit Cafe’s 5 Star Book Review for Finding Lisa by Sigrid MacDonald

Finding Lisa by Sigrid MacDonald – What other readers have to say:

It really is captivating. Love how it is so real. The author has a wonderful offbeat sense of humor. It raises some important and intriguing questions about women and men with a history of violence. Worth checking it out. Tamer Cindy

If you’re looking for a great read that’s compelling and has a motivated female protagonist, this is the book for you. It was a pleasure to read this! Jawiin

If you like a strong female protagonist, and a story you can relate to, then you’ll really enjoy ‘Finding Lisa.’ Based in Ontario, Canada, we follow Tara as she struggles with her upcoming 40th birthday, a less than perfect marriage and a difficult teenage son. When her best friend, Lisa, mysteriously disappears, Tara’s life is turned upside down. The supporting characters are well fleshed out, interesting and believable. There’s a lot of humor and a significant amount of sadness in this novel. DG

This is a great story for women who are may be doubting themselves and what they are capable of. Though the exploits of Tara, almost every woman can relate to what she is going through. And can remember their own strengths and remind themselves that they too, are stronger than they think. Believable characters, humor and a good story. The author has done a great job. JN752

Full of cultural pop references, a friendly narrative voice, the story just drags you in from the first paragraph. Lisa’s vulnerability, Tara’s less than modest inner revelations, the humanizing flaws of each and every character and how to draw strength to move on in life from such challenges to a mundane normalness is all one can ask for or pray for sometimes! Great book! BookLife

I loved the mystery and flow of this book. Diane Moat Author
