Books

I’m grateful to the thousands of people who have generously shared their stories with me. I listened and learned.

Man, woman or child each story details the tragedy and triumph of being human. From the Northwoods of Minnesota to California prisons, I could relate to their stories. Many themes re-emerge and ask for closer examination. World over, despite culture or social status we empathize with the grief felt over the loss of a loving mother, judge the mark left by a harsh father, or feel a profound yearning for love and safety. Stories awaken emotion.

I’m pleased to offer this collection of essays, inspired by the stories of those who inspired me.

It seems despite our differences, the fine art of living life and telling the story, reveals our shared humanity.  – Snake
