Reseña del libro "Your Legacy: The stories of your life. (en Inglés)"
If it's unlikely that an airport will be named in your honor, or that your statue will stand in the town square, your life stories are your legacy. Don't fade into obscurity, just a name on a genealogy chart, one of history's mysteries. Celebrate your life, and invite others to, through your stories.For more than a quarter-century, Carol Purroy has inspired and helped people of all ages to get their life stories written and into print. Your Life Your Legacy grew out of her experience teaching memoir writing classes at colleges, senior centers, churches, et cetera.Your Life Your Legacy is not only a "How-to", it is also a "Why-to". Useful to writers at all levels, it is especially helpful to those who don't yet think of themselves as writers but want to create a lasting record of their lives.Your Life Your Legacy offers inspiration and encouragement, plus the nuts-and-bolts of writing. You'll learn how to get started and keep going all the way to the end, in addition to learning the tricks of writing stories people won't want to put down.Your Life Your Legacy is the perfect gift for a parent, grandparent or friend who might need a push to get started ... or finished ... writing the stories of his or her life, or for yourself. It's a must for memoir-writing classes and groups, an invaluable aid to teachers and group leaders, indispensable to the individual memoir writer.Your Life Your Legacy was written for ordinary people, not professional writers. There are lots of how-to-write books for them. This one is for those who are probably not interested in publishing novels or screenplays (although some of her students have gone on to do just that). Its style is casual and conversational -- easy to read and follow.
