The Characters in My Life

A memoir is a journey into humanity. It allows the reader to feel the emotions and activities of a particular time with those who shared the journey with you. It makes evident the connections you had with people on the journey. Did they inspire you, anger you, love you, rescue you, or teach you? Who did you admire? How did they impact your life? Was their influence felt at different times? Writing about others develops the story but one primary set of characters centers the story.
