| Introduction | Lynn Henriksen discovered a profound way to keep our loved ones' alive after she witnessed Alzheimer’s disease ravage her mother’s mind. She has helped hundreds to capture, in bio-vignettes, something they never thought they could. While writing and collecting stories is Lynn’s aim, teaching and encouraging others to portray their mothers’ essential character in a story, as no photograph could ever do, brings her great satisfaction. For fun and to further promote writing these vital memoirs, she created an easy-to-follow guide book, Give the Gift of Story, TellTale Souls’ Essential Guide: Tap Memory and Write Memoir in Five Acts. After more than a decade, she has emerged as The Story Woman™. She is a member of the California Writers Club – Marin County, and the Vice President of the San Francisco Chapter of the Women’s National Book Association, an organization with nine chapters and over 800 members. |
