"Story Stop: Bookish Road Trip" will bring you behind the scenes into the lives of authors Melissa Face, Libby McNamee, Mary Helen Sheriff, and Julie Valerie, founders of the "Bookish Road Trip" Facebook Group. Everyone has stories to tell, and capturing them can be not only a special effort but a profound personal or family project. Maybe after listening in, you'll feel called to capture the stories of your own.

Welcome to the summer series of the Words You Should Know podcast, where we’ll revisit “Story Stop Tour” events of earlier this year and popular episodes you may have missed from years past.

What are my Story Stops? Imagine a program where you take a pause in your life to consider the stories that have shaped you into who you are. That’s what my third book, The Family Story Workbook, is all about, and at my Story Stop Tour events, I’ve been honored to hear the stories of talented authors, poets, and wordsmiths as they dive into their memories and invite you to dive into yours. You can learn more about these events at StoryStopTour.com.

This is the encore of Story Stop: Bookish Road Trip, originally held on February 11, 2021, and now replayed for you here on the “Words You Should Know” podcast. Enjoy the show!
