Listen to This

<p>When we hear “Listen to this” most of us are all ears. It is a good way to capture the attention of folks to whom we want to tell a story. That phrase holds the promise of hearing something interesting or informative or funny. As for the words “mostly true” as a part of the book’s title we suspect that is the case with every story that is told. On the question of truth the words of Susan Estrich ring true: “. . truth is a construct infected with the biases of the teller. ”  A story true or not comes from a particular point of view from a teller who may concentrate on parts of the story that another teller might leave out. As Bryce Stevens has said “In the telling we discover ourselves. And in the listening we learn that none of us is alone.” We hope that will be the case for the people who read this book and hear our stories</p>
