Book
Survival stories : memoirs of crisis / edited by Kathryn Rhett.
Survival Stories speaks to the need people have to write and read about life-changing experiences. Twenty-two extraordinary writers reveal the variety and power of crisis memoir. From Lauren Slater's frank confrontation with obsessive-compulsive disorder to Patton Hollow's efforts to understand his father's death, the fundamental human need to come to terms with difficulty and loss is reflected in each piece, with an urgency that demands to be read as much as these stories demanded to be written.
