“My favorite line from any book ever is the very last line from Charlotte’s Web . . . ‘It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.’ . . . which is what came to me as I dove in to the first chapters of Your Story. Joanne Fedler is a true friend to her reader, and an amazing writer. She is also a brilliant teacher. Get this book if you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book. It will not only elevate your spirit and teach you that your experiences, your heart, and your soul are a rich and worthy voice—but it will show you exactly how to capture that voice in the written word.”
