Today is the start of Linda Joy Myers week at Women’s Memoirs. We’re helping Linda Joy celebrate the publication of her new book, The Power of Memoir: How to Write Your Healing Story. We’ve known Linda Joy as both a colleague and friend for about four years. It is our pleasure to welcome her again to Women’s Memoirs.

Linda Joy will be answering your questions all week. We interviewed her last Friday and will be posting her responses, one question at a time.

This first question comes from Michele Warnecke and focuses her concern about revealing secrets and the possible consequences from others involved. If you have these concerns, we’re sure you’ll find help in Linda Joy’s answer.
