Book Review: Write for Your Life

I am reviewing a copy of Write For Your Life through Random House and Netgalley:





In Write For Your Life, Anna Quindlen asks these questions truly lasts in our hearts and minds? Where can we find community, history, humanity?  In this new lyrical book, the answer is clearly shown, and that is, it’s through writing.  This is a book for what Quindlen calls “civilians,” those who want to use the written word to become more human, more themselves. 






Write For Your Life shows us that there has never been a more important time to stop and record what we are thinking and feeling. Using examples from past, present, and future—from Anne Frank to Toni Morrison, from love letters written after World War II to journal reflections from nurses and doctors today—Write for Your Life vividly illuminates the ways in which writing connects us to ourselves and to those we cherish. Drawing on her personal experiences not just as a writer but as a mother and daughter, Quindlen makes the case that recording our daily lives in writing is essential.




I give Write For Your Life five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!
