The chapter it becomes
The Coat
It was the winter of 1976, and the snow on Chippewa Street came down sideways, the way it only does in Buffalo. I had my collar up and nowhere in particular to be.
That was when I saw Eleanor. She was laughing at something I couldn't hear, standing in the cold without a coat as if the weather were someone else's problem. So I gave her mine. She kept it a week. I like to think I never really got it back.
You never write a word. You talk, and it becomes your book.
“I have in fact been writing a book over the past year but accomplished more through your app in 2.5 hours than the last year! I am so excited to continue.”
Howard R., early storyteller
In their words
Stories worth telling, told at last
“It felt more like a conversation than an interview. After a while I felt like I was talking with an old friend who knew just what questions to ask to help jog my memory about my past.”
Cindy W.
