Here is today’s question: Do you have a story to tell? Have you
ever wondered if your life experiences’ are fascinating or
should be written down? You also know that other people telling
your story would never do it the same justice then if you wrote
the story yourself? How do you get started? What would I write
about first? The book we will be discussing today will help you
get started and serve as a guide to help you get your story down
as well as help you achieve that peaceful feeling and renewed
strength. And you can start right now! The name of the book is
called Memoir Star: Start Telling Your Life Story. According to
runawayteens.org One in seven kids
between the ages of 10 and 18 will run away at some point. And
there are 1 million to 3 million runaway and homeless kids
living on the streets in the United States.
The book was written by two runaways, Erika Karres and Susan
Bowman. Susan joins us today and will tell you about her
childhood in Connecticut and her running away. This book is a
simple step-by-step plan to help you draft your memoir using
prompts to guide you. It is our pleasure to welcome one of the
authors of this book, Susan Bowman to Your Life Matters.
