A memoir that courageously delves into the delicate subjects of divorce and single parenting has earned graduate student Debby Adair a master’s degree in English and a prestigious writing award. Adair’s thesis, Little Wonders, is a work of literary nonfiction, making her the first person at the U of R to write a creative thesis in this genre. Her graduate thesis won third place in the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild’s John V. Hicks Long Manuscript Awards. Professor Gerald Hill encouraged her to enter. The award recognizes three unpublished book-length manuscripts each year, rotating between the genres of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
