You: The Story: A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory by Ruta Sepetys

5.0

I purchased this book on a whim with really no context, except that it’s the story of YOU. I love reading and don’t have the intention to ever write a book, but this book offered so much insight on the writing process - - it was more than that though, it was filled with heart and empathy. “We are, each of us, our own prisoner. We are locked up in our own story.” - Maxine Kumin. I will definitely pick up Ruta Sepetys’ book, Between Shades of Gray, to learn a little about my own Lithuanian ancestors.
