I do agree that healing is one of the primary reasons people write a memoir. Your background in counseling only makes it more exciting to encourage wanna-be memoirist to write their story since you understand the psychological impact if they keep hiding or repressing their trauma. I will become one of the fans of your blog :) Julia Hi Jerry,

Thanks for your comment.

It's great to read a review of this book. Healing is one of the sub-topics that I address on my blog for memoir writing, http://www.memorywritersnetwork.com/blog So I had to do a double take when I saw the photo of the book cover. I have been carrying this book around with me, and have had it on top of my reading pile for months. I wouldn't say it was my bible, but it was so thoughtful I wanted to digest it slowly, and absorb it. It's certainly (so far) the most thoughtful book I've found on the healing of memoir writing. Best wishes, Jerry Thanks Julia. It’s great to read a review of this book. Healing is one of the sub-topics that I address on my blog for memoir writing,
