A childhood of abuse left Lisa Braver Moss with doubts about her worth, fears and a driving need to succeed in school and get free of her family. As time went on, she understood more about that experience and began to make some sense of it. Her path to her own best life ultimately led her to want to capture her experiences and her novel, Shrug, is the result. What is it like to write fiction based on painful experience? How did the story develop and what fed her as she was revisiting those difficult experiences? How much of our own story do we reflect in writing fiction? And in the end, does it help to process those early experiences. Join us to explore the answers.
