What else to do but write? From July to September of that year, and again briefly in 1953, Lois wrote Bill at least 37 letters, which were found by her daughters after her death in 2021. Bill, who had died the year before, had saved them all for 66 years, lovingly folded into their original envelopes, and carefully stashed at the back of a dresser drawer. Interspersed with the letters are explanations, reflections, photographs, and...

Narrative Analysis
Recipient of the 1994 Critics′ Choice Award from the American Educational Studies Association People tell stories to help organize and make sense of their lives. In the past, their narratives have often been torn apart by social scientists looking for themes, variables, and specific answers to specific questions. But in recent years, the development of narrative analysis has given life to the study of the narrative as a form of information for social research. Why are they constructed as they are? How does one dissect a narrative to understand the lived experience of the narrator? What steps can the researcher take to translate these tales and life stories into usable research? Catherine Kohler Riessman provides a detailed primer on the use of narrative analysis, its theoretical underpinnings and worldview, and the methods it uses. Replete with examples and transcriptions from previous narrative studies, Narrative Analysis is a useful introduction to this growing body of literature.
