But I'm Still Here: Shaking the Tree - brazen. short. memoir. (Vol.5) - Paperback

by Marni Freedman (Editor), Tracy J. Jones (Editor)

The International Memoir Writers Association is thrilled to present the fifth volume of compelling true stories from our annual Memoir Showcase contest. This volume's winning selections are inspired by the theme, But I'm Still Here.

This engaging and entertaining volume is filled with stories such as escaping a wildfire as flames engulf your car, being hunted by a hammerhead shark, and finding yourself left behind on a wartorn tarmac on your first day as an election worker in Afghanistan. In the spirit of the Shaking the Tree series, this anthology goes there-unapologetically.

You can't make this stuff up.
