So pleased to announce the publication of Gwen Hunter’s book “Grandma Gwen Drives a School Bus.” Gwen has been one of my memoir-writing students for the past year or so. This collection of a dozen stories reflects her experience of driving a school bus for years in Brant County. Children, parents, teachers, other drivers, and anyone who has ever been a passenger will enjoy reading this book.

When is a natural communicator and has a wealth of experiences to draw on. Now in her 80s, she shows no signs of stopping, and I look forward to her next collection of stories.

Congratulations Gwen! A worthy achievement.

In this post, I reflect on the question that plagues many of my memoir-writing students: "Do I really have enough interesting stories . . . or is my life too ordinary?"
