Publisher's summary
Includes audio from original interview with Lale Sokolov.
The first nonfiction book from the author of international best-selling novels The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey.
Stories are what connect us and remind us that hope is always possible. (Heather Morris)
In Stories of Hope, Heather Morris will explore the art of listening - a skill she employed when she first met Lale Sokolov, the Tattooist at Auschwitz. It was her ability to listen that led Lale to entrust Heather with his story, which she told as the novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Now she shares her story of how she learned to listen.
Heather grew up on a farm in rural New Zealand. On her way back across the paddocks from school, she would visit her great-grandfather and listen to his experiences of war - stories he told only Heather. From a very young age, she learned that people would share their most sacred and intimate stories with her, if she stopped and listened to them. Stories of Hope will examine and explore Heather's journey, in the form of a series of tales of the remarkable people she has met, the extraordinary stories they have shared with her, and the lessons they hold for us all.

Gripping.
A sad, but at the same time, hopeful story of love and the importance of personal connections to get one through the ups and downs of life.

not what I expected.
I expected to hear real stories of hope, instead this was more of a textbook on listening to stories. Very useful if your not a counsellor. This was dispersed within authors own story and reference to Lali.

Just listen
This is beautifully written. I can not explain how Heather Morris’s other books have Meade me feel but to listen to this in her own words hit a spot I never thought would. Thank you for writing this.

Superb accompaniment to her ‘fictional’ titles
This is a stunning accompaniment to her ‘fictional’ material that I have also read.
It is amazing to hear the story behind the story. This was an extremely welcome addition to the novels.
I would definitely recommend.

Heartfelt
After having read the three stories I felt lost and needed more, I now feel a joy to have have listened to Stories of Hope. I cried many times feeling the emotional connection that Heather had retelling the Tattooists personal story through her friendship with him. Also connecting to Heather's own personal story. What a brave, brave human she is to make hard choices as she has, the same choices we all have.

A powerful tool for anyone interested in history
I have gained so much from listening to this book. As a writer and oral historian myself this was good to hear of some one else's process. Thank you Heather for being so open and sharing your experience which is just as powerful as the final stories written. I'm now going to read all of your books with a deeper understanding.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological, and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc.
