hplandmark.com the highland park landmark | July 5, 2019 | 21 Highland Park resident writes book inspired by her past experience Erin Yarnall, Editor A little more than three years ago, Highland Park resident Beth Bear Shields was going through a lot of change. She was recently divorced with two young children, and her house was soon-to-be demolished. She wanted to be there to see her house be torn down, but was unable to make it. Instead, she envisioned it in her head, and wrote about what she saw. From then on, she had a book. “That was my first chapter,” Shields said. In her finished product, the first chapter she wrote takes place in the middle of the book, but after she wrote down her first chapter, she kept writing. All of her writing went into “Seamless,” the local author’s first book, which was self-published. Shields describes “Seamless” as “fiction with a little bit of nonfiction sprinkled in.” Shields said it took her close to two years to write the book, and she spent around a year editing and publishing. “I was surprised with how long that would take, actually,” Shields said. “It was very frustrating. It’s not easy.” The author had always wanted to write, but said she was discouraged from writing by a professor while majoring in journalism at the University of Kansas. “I met up with a teacher who told me I was too shy to be a good interviewer, and I was just an average writer,” Shields said. Because of the discouraging advice, Shields decided to drop her journalism major, and instead go to school for psychology and education. She said that deciding to write her book was Shields’ way of saying she’s not going to listen to people telling her what to do any more. Having an audience for “Seamless” wasn’t a concern to Shields. She knew there would be one, because of the relatability of the subject matter. “When I got divorced, I was one of very few women who were divorced, but now it appears it’s become quite popular, and I knew it would have a larger audience,” Shields said. The story takes place in a fictionalized version of Highland Park, according to Shields. “I would say I’ve always been very interested in architecture, and looking at the different architects that we’re so lucky to have in this area,” Shields said. “It always broke my heart a little bit when I saw a house coming down that was important, that was going to be just replaced by one of the McMansions, it always made me a little sad. That’s part of what the heroine’s problem is — she doesn’t like change.” But Shields added, that change is the reason for her main character’s growth in the novel, and also in Shields’ own life. “I was driving past a house on Sheridan Road, and there were some masons replacing some stones, they were knocking some stones out and taking out some of the border and it made a little seam where you could see in, and I got a little peek of the house that was hidden behind the wall,” Shields said. “I thought to myself, ‘I wonder if I’m going to be able to see if there will be a mark there tomorrow.’ The next day when I drove by it, you couldn’t tell old from new, fixed from broken, and the repair was seamless. Her hope was after her divorce, her life would be seamless, too.” “Seamless,” by Highland Park resident Beth Bear Shields, was partially inspired by the author’s past experiences, and the setting is based on Highland Park.
