Telling Our Stories, Writing Our Lives: Massasoit One Book Writing Contest
In Chitra Divakaruni’s novel One Amazing Thing, 9 characters are trapped together in a basement office after an earthquake. These strangers have very different backgrounds and experiences. To survive, they take turns telling their stories. Imagine you’re trapped in an elevator with strangers – what story will you tell? Remember, great stories come in all shapes and sizes. Some are packed with big dramatic moments, while other narrate a smaller, quieter tale. Every day is another story. Share yours today!
