The last four years of political drama have left us in unprecedented divisive terrains. We now find ourselves in piles of immediate, ongoing, and long-lasting haunting issues. Can we gather our courage, hope, and love and extend it to all people to rebuild the country? We hope so, of course. But hope is not enough; this requires action.
Some may say we need voice. But we’ve also experienced the danger of the repeated loud voices from those with power. Voice influences people. Voice with power can manipulate, mislead, and misguide people, even with apparent false statements and lies.

It is not uncommon for authors of memoir to wrestle with whether to publish a book as memoir or fiction. “It’s all true,” an author I’m publishing in the spring told me on a phone call intended to sort out this very question, “but I took some liberties.”
“So it’s fiction,” I concluded.
“But it could be memoir,” she countered. “I could easily make those parts true.” She told me that she’d intended for the book to be autofiction, but she was arguing in circles seeming to make a case for memoir, but then bristling when I asserted that we should make it memoir, and landing back at this idea of autofiction.
