When I first was inspired to write The Great Trouble, about Dr. John Snow and the London cholera epidemic of 1854, I fell into the same trap many of the elementary students I speak to at author visits do.
I thought of it as an inspiring story of perseverence and achievement -- and something in the past.
But now each day brings report of new outbreaks. The latest is in Mexico, probably stemming... Read more of this blog post »

“The events of the Titanic disaster can be seen as a symbol of what happens through overconfidence in technology, complacence, and a mindset of profits over people's safety.”
― Deborah Hopkinson, Titanic: Voices From the Disaster
― Deborah Hopkinson, Titanic: Voices From the Disaster
“And what did Maurice buy when he first got paid? A Russian-English dictionary! Maurice bought a novel and began to try to read it. Each time he saw a word he didn't know, he copied it on a piece of paper. After he finished each page, he looked up the words he didn't know in his new dictionary, then read the page again until he could understand it.
Maurice did this, page by page, until he finished the book. It was slow going, but he didn't give up. 'Every day more of the strange sounds took on meaning as words arranged themselves into sentences.”
― Deborah Hopkinson, Shutting Out the Sky: Life in the Tenements of New York, 1880-1924
