<DIV><P>Asserting that each life contains the makings of a memoir, Carol LaChapelle gives writers, journal writers, and family historians the tools to explore their memories and turn them into great stories. Condensing 20 years of teaching experience into 167 stimulating exercises, Carol helps readers access and describe the important people, places, and events in their lives. The contributions of real students who have been using these methods in Carol's workshops for years demonstrate just how productive these exercises can be.</P></DIV>
