Storytelling can be hard enough, but when you weave in those most difficult stories in a family, everything gets compounded. That’s what my guest today did in her first published book. I was joined today by

of ShellNorman.Substack.com, the author of “My Father’s Daughter.”

Through a process that began with journaling into a diary, Shell found her voice and discovered that she had a book in her. Now that her book is out, she’s sharing the tale with her readers around the world.

The story is one that peels back layers of deception in a family to get to the heart of an origin story and where the love lies in a family. As Shell shared in our conversation it’s a tale that inspires retelling of related stories. If you’d like to talk to Shell about your book club, she’d love to hear from you. Just drop her a message here: 👇

As she concluded our conversation:

Storytelling is healing.

Indeed it is. Join us next week, Sunday or Monday (depending on your region) as Jennifer Jones hosts a Substack Live preview of our Projectkin Speakers’ Corner program with two special guests,

and who will be sharing stories about remarkable women in their family tree.
