I love hearing about stories where books have helped people. It’s inspiring–as both a reader and a writer. I know how much books–mostly novels–helped me survive my childhood. They are part of what helped keep me alive.
I know books have power. So it’s validating and uplifting to hear stories that confirm this.
Agent Kristen at Pub Rants talks about how a woman who suffered a stroke was helped by a novel her daughter read to her–a book written by a client of Kristen’s. Read the story here. It’s such a feel-good story, at least to me. And it reminds me of bibliotherapy.
Have books helped you, or someone you know? Do you have a story to share? Do share!
