This is a practical tome with fifty short chapters on "how people can get close and stay close to people they love" through writing. Klauser is the author of Writing on Both Sides of the Brain and a leader of workshops on creativity, writing, and relationship building. Here she explains how putting our thoughts, ideas, ideals, feelings, and fantasies on paper is a way of healing hurts, celebrating joys, and communicating on a meaningful level. Klauser covers everything from notes in lunchboxes to interactive journals, annual Christmas letters, and ethical wills.
