About this title: McDonnell draws from her own experiences as a writer and a teacher of memoir to provide the definitive book on writing "crisis memoirs" and other kinds of personal narrative. She explains specific techniques and gives advice to help the writer discover his or her inner voice, recognize--and then silence--the inner censor, begin a narrative, and develop it with such aids as photographs and documents.

"This is a good writing book for anyone wishing (or willing) to push through trauma to get to the core of our unsettling human condition. Memoir, when it's good, isn't about the author's events, but about how that person made it through and more importantly, how that relates to the reader. This book can help that happen. Not an easy process, but well worth the time."
