Reviews2017 USA Best Book Awards Finalist in Self-Help: Motivational "Gina L. Carroll believes everyone has a story and a unique voice to tell it. She also thinks each account will impact others, which makes telling it almost a duty. This is especially true for women, people of color, and anyone struggling with a transformative experience. Carroll gently nudges, including practical strategies and personal examples, hopefully generating voices we've long needed to hear."--Nan Cuba, award-winning author fo Body and Bread " A Story that Matters will have you beaming with inspiration and diving into your own first draft (finally). There's nothing that changes the world like a great story, and A Story that Matters is the priceless blueprint to telling your own."-- Redbook , "20 Must-Read Books for Spring 2017", "Gina L.

SynopsisWith each chapter focusing on stories from the seminal periods of a lifetime--motherhood, childhood, relationships, work, and spirit-- A Story That Matters provides the tools and motivation to craft and complete the stories of your life., With each chapter focusing on stories from the seminal periods of a lifetime-motherhood, childhood, relationships, work, and spirit- A Story That Matters provides the tools and motivation to craft and complete the stories of your life., No matter who you are, your story is a part of something big--the fabric of history and the human experience. Once written and shared, your story will change someone. And that someone is most likely you. A Story that Matters offers an accessible and simplified way to get your stories written. Each chapter is divided into three sections: the first discusses memoir writing in the context of themes--motherhood, childhood, relationships, professional life, and spiritual journey; the second provides basic writing and editing prescription, with a focus on common beginner mistakes and roadblocks; and the third provides a sample story related to the life theme discussed in the first section of the chapter. Chock full of writing and editing lessons that focus on how to get a first draft written and how to craft the draft into a compelling story, A Story That Matters explores our ability to help, heal, and connect to others through story, reminding us of the greater need for a broader array of authentic voices in the story-sharing universe.
