Lorian Hemingway is the granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway. She was born on December 15, 1951 in Jackson, Mississippi. Her childhood years were spent in several southern states – Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and Arkansas. The Florida Keys are the setting for her memoir, Walk on Water .
Lorian Hemingway goes further, claiming that her father didn't receive vital medication while in jail. "I do not know to whom to assign blame," she says, "But I think his having been incarcerated for five days on a bail of a mere $1,000 and having his life end because he could not have the medication he needed is a criminal act, outright."
Alive with humor and grace, it earned nominations for the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. Not long after the memoir's release, Lorian immersed herself in writing the manuscript that would become A World Turned Over, perhaps her most powerful book to date.
