In Memoirs of the Soul, Nan Phifer makes writing roundabout, leading people who may not have thought of themselves as writers to strong descriptions and surprising insights. Memoirs of the Soul will help make writing expressive, safe, and satisfying. More selective than journals, memoirs focus on keenly-felt hours and minutes, times when we are most alive, times when experiences are significant. More profound than family histories and genealogies, memoirs enrich those records when added to them.
