Every story, vignette, and poem includes writing prompts, motivating readers to become writers.The variety of stories, written by mothers and their adult children, illustrate how we connect through stories. Connections takes you on a journey of discovery with glimpses into a family living on a sailboat with two young children to amusing stories of mismatched socks, a complicated first day of school, mischievous childhood friends, to love, and loss.We look at life from the point of view of a harried mother quickly writing journal entries. We view the world from a child writing letters to her mother during World War II.In Connections we travel with a reflective hiker on a heartfelt mission, we learn about the power of finding dimes, we are entertained with stories of an abandoned carnival and a writer’s reluctant entry into adulthood told through her last childhood Halloween experience. Connections features techniques to inspire your writing, including resources for writers such as websites, associations, and how to use freewrites to enhance your writing and ignite your imagination for inspirational writing.
