Are you looking for some true stories rather than all imaginary stories? Do you need some inspiration in finding out that you aren't the only one who has, or is experiencing, whatever situation you are in? It is possible to face impossible odds and come out better than when you went in. "The Story That Must Be Told: True Tales of Transformation" will give you the help you need.
"The Story That Must Be Told" is a collection of short stories dealing with a wide variety of issues. There are numerous stories on the power of forgiveness, taking personal responsibility, dealing with addictions, learning to love one self and understanding our parents. There are also chapters on listening to another culture, and overcoming disability. Depending on your circumstance, you are bound to find one of these 21 stories to apply to your particular life-change event.
This book would make excellent reading for anyone interested in psychology, as well as anyone dealing with any life-changing events. I found most of these stories inspiring, and see just what some people have endured and triumphed over. "A Snowflake" would be the one story that applied to me the most, as my maternal grandmother had the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s when she died in 2004. This is a wonderful book and I look forward to more volumes like this one. Read "The Story Must Be Told" because it just may inspire you, or give you a chance to help someone else with their own life-changing circumstances.
