Publisher's Summary

Psychotherapist, author of The Heroine’s Journey, and influential writing teacher Maureen Murdock explores connections between ancient myths and popular contemporary memoirs to help listeners examine their own life patterns and map their personal stories.

Looking at myth foundations as well as archetypal themes, this illuminating book probes universal questions like: Who am I? What is my journey? Where is home? With excerpts from beloved memoirs, practical advice, and writing prompts, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the rich scope of the memoir genre. And in turn, they’ll come out with a better grasp on their own life trajectory and their place within the rich tapestry of the human experience.
