Your story is bigger than you know.
From its tiniest details to its most dramatic events, your story is a sacred gift, worthy of attention. But how do you find and tell that story?

In this practical, liberating guide based on her thirty years of writing and teaching, Leslie Leyland Fields will lead you step by step in exploring your past and shaping your memories into vivid, compelling stories.
