  • Teen Authors Share their Stories, Struggles on New Day Northwest

     

    To celebrate the launch of their book, Behind Closed Doors: Stories From the Inside Out, fifteen student authors have been sharing their stories about their struggles with addiction, sexual identity, abuse, death, bullying and parental incarceration — and discussing the healing power and validation that comes from personal storytelling.

    I’ve been involved with this student storytelling program for two and half years, using my coming-of-age memoir  Hippie Boy as a guide to help struggling teens find their voice and power through personal storytelling. Behind Closed Doors is the third story collection produced through our program, Write to Right. For more information, visit www.writetoright.org
