Book Overview
Winner of the Storytelling World Award A difficult story is any story whose content makes it challenging to tell or difficult to hear.

powerful storytelling at it's best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Buy this book, if only to read the stories for inspiration. Elizabeth Ellis and Loren Niemi possess a level of compassion, maturity and skill that can mentor any storytelling risk-taker through the delicate task of using Truth - the real kind, the scary kind, the kind that sets you free - as the source for powerful stories. This is not a book about theories...this is a book about what they do, what has worked for them and what has worked for others they've taught in their workshops. It has worked for me, I highly recommend it.
