Book Reviews of Your Life as Story
Book Review: A great gift to writers interested in telling their story
Summary: 5 Stars
I wrote a memoir about my 15 years as a homebirth midwife in Berkeley, CA. The hardest part for me was putting myself into the book - in other words, turning it from a series of childbirth tales into a memoir. Once I discovered Tristine Rainer's wonderful book, I could understand how to do it. The author, with an extremely useful set of exercises, teaches how to use past struggles in one's life, discover the meaning within them, and capture them into prose that is worthy of contemplation and expression.
