About the Book

Growing up during the 1940s - 1960s in Sheffield, England, Roger Gordon is caught in a drama in which his once close-knit family begins to fragment.

When his parents' marriage implodes, Roger is forced to confront stigmas of the day, including divorce, marital infidelity, and mental illness.

Cast against news events of the day, using humour to temper the darker elements of Roger's background, Starting to Frame is a story about the futility of family feuding, the need to be loved, and the imperative to give more attention to mental illness. It also shows the power of reconciliation and forgiveness.
About the Author:

Roger Gordon was born in 1943 in Sheffield, England, where he spent the first 26 years of his life. After obtaining his B.Sc. and Ph.D in Zoology from Sheffield University, he immigrated to Canada in 1969. He pursued a successful career as a scientist and faculty member at three Canadian universities and served as Dean of Science at the University of Prince Edward Island from 1997-2006. Author of approximately 60 scientific publications, Roger has also received awards in three annual competitions sponsored by the Prince Edward Island Writers' Guild for his literary compositions. He is now retired from academia and lives with his wife, Alison, and his family on Prince Edward Island.
