At nine months old, her son Dan was diagnosed with diabetes. Then, at twenty-two, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. During the years she and her husband took care of Dan, and when he died at age thirty-eight, Aronie could not find the book she needed. So she wrote her memoir. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In teaching memoir writing, Aronie has found that everyone has a story to tell and that telling it is important. Sharing \"this is who I am, these are the things that shaped me, this is where I am now\" allows a kind of magic and healing to happen. Over decades of writing and teaching, Aronie has created a set of prompts, directions, and examples that she shares in \u003cem\u003eMemoir as Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e. She shows readers how to write through where they have been and into deep understanding, profound healing, and even unexpected joy.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398482161801,"sku":"9781608688074","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/files\/9781608688074_5eb59.jpg?v=1757062321","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/memoir-as-medicine","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
