Review:
Your Turn: Ways to Celebrate Life Through Storytelling by Dr. Tyra Manning was not exactly what I thought it would be. However, I did like the writing prompt questions. She had me think about something or someone in my life dealing with a particular subject or situation and then write about it. This book was mostly a memoir on her life rather than storytelling writing. I thought it would provide storytelling techniques etc. It didn’t. This book did do its sole purpose, try to get the reader to write his or her life story.
