A recent study revealed that the Number 1 thing that baby boomers
want to do in retirement is write a book....about themselves. It's
not that every person has lived such a unique or dramatic life, but
we inherently understand that writing memoir-whether it's a book,
blog, or just a letter to a child-is the single greatest portal to
self-examination.
While there have been other writing books, there's been nothing
like Marion Roach Smith's THE MEMOIR PROJECT. Marion has written
four books and she's been teaching a sold-out memoir writing class
for 13 years. Her new book is a disarmingly frank, but wildly fun,
distillation of all the unsentimental lessons that WORK. Tired
topics like writing exercises, morning pages and "writer's block"
are replaced with quirky, provocative tactics that teach you to
write with purpose.
Previously self-published in April 2010 (under the title Writing
What You Know: Realia), the book has already proven hugely popular,
and with its new title and updated content, it is sure to find an
even bigger and even more enthusiastic audience.
One family's story of walking through years of testing and fire to
the other side fills these pages. The author believes we are a
society who hides our imperfections and problems from one another,
leaving us vulnerable while struggling alone to make it all work.
Her hope is to tell a story that moves people's hearts for
neighbors, family members, and even strangers rather than driving
through our lives and neighborhoods with windows closed returning
to our garages and closing the doors behind us at the end of the
day. For those walking through the fire, this story brings hope and
courage to ask for help, and keep loving with Jesus' love when the
world says give up.
