Elizabeth-Anne Kim teaches lifestory writing in her community, where she saw the need for this book. She has published two short memoirs of her own, Dancing in the Rain and What My Mother Didn't Know, both of which are available on Kindle through Amazon. She also edits the Share a Pair of Stories series, which pairs the life stories of Plum Borough community members on various topics to create a stronger sense of community and to make history and change relevant.
