Your Life as a Story by Tristine Rainer
In Your Life As Story, autobiography expert Tristine Rainer explains how we can all find the important messages in our lives. Like Mary Karr or Frank McCourt, we can shape those stories into dramatic narratives that are compelling to others. Blending literary scholarship with practical coaching, Rainer shares her remarkable techniques for finding the essentials of story structure within your life's scattered experiences. Most important, she explains how to treasure the struggles in your past and discover the meaning within those experiences to capture the unique myth at work in your life.
Rainer co-founded the UCLA Women's Studies department and later wrote and produced award-winning television programs. She also taught memoir and creative nonfiction at the USC Masters in Professional Writing Program for eleven years and is the director of the nonprofit Center for Autobiographic Studies. She lives in the state of California.
