Telling Stories is a lively, entertaining collection of 44 interviews with some of the most fascinating and prominent people of our time : artist Jamie Wyeth; former Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams; former Senator George Mitchell; Nixon White House Counsel John Dean; former Governor of Virginia Terry McAulliffe; political pundit Dick Morris; authors Patrick Radden Keefe, James Carroll. Mary Gordon and Edna O’Brien ; former world heavyweight champion Joe Frazier; John O’Brien , a silk screen printer who was abducted by aliens and Lorna Byrne, a mystic who sees and converses with angels.
Major events in our nation’s history are reflected in the personal tales of Bob McIlvaine, a father who lost his son on 9/11 and Bonnie McEneaney, a woman who lost her husband whom she says “foresaw his own death”. These pages are filled with insight , humor and keen observations—the author captures the essence of her subjects—each story is a delightful sometimes irreverent but always unbiased and accurate snapshot of her subject—in her role as interested listener and observer.
