booksontour's review against another edition
4.0
Die Mischung aus „behind-the-scenes“ vom Schreibprozess ihrer vorherigen Bücher und persönlichen Annekdoten hat mir total gut gefallen. Heather Morris durfte bereits mit vielen inspirierenden Persönlichkeiten sehr intensive und persönliche Gespräche führen und kann uns davon viel auf den Weg mitgeben. Insbesondere ihre Geschichte zu Lale und die Entstehensgeschichte von Der Tätowierer von Ausschwitz hat mich wieder ganz emotional gemacht. Dieses Buch ist so toll, da es der wahren Geschichte von Lale eine Stimme bietet. Darüber zu lesen, wie die Gespräche der Autorin mit Lale abgelaufen sind war sehr spannend. Insgesamt war das Buch an einigen Stellen leider sehr repetitiv. Trotzdem ein tolles Buch, dass einem die Kunst und Relevanz des einander Zuhörens vermittelt. 🫂

WATCH A FUN VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Heather’s genuine, caring nature has led her to deep human connections and a life beyond her imagining. Here, she shares how practising the art of listening helped develop trust between her and Holocaust survivor Lale Sokolov ([b: The Tattooist of Auschwitz|38359036|The Tattooist of Auschwitz (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, #1)|Heather Morris|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1525962117l/38359036._SY75_.jpg|56940861]).
This book is more than just a behind-the-scenes peek at Heather’s and Lale’s friendship, it’s a vulnerable and honest look at the building blocks that form meaningful connections between people from a woman who dedicated her lifetime to listening to survivors.
Heather’s background as a social worker means she provides practical tips on helping others open up (including children and elders), listening with empathy, following your own inner-voice and self-care.
This book helped me realise I’d stopped really listening to the people I love - that I’d become too caught up in waiting to reply or give advice.
Stories of Hope is a timely reminder from an author who has forged an outstanding career by following her heart and holding space for others. [a: Heather Morris|17029974|Heather Morris|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531334211p2/17029974.jpg] is an outstanding storyteller.

A book about the behind-the-scenes information regarding the writing, information collecting and research behind Heather Morris’s other writings regarding the holocaust. Most of this book is an explanation and instructional document on how best to listen to people and how hard it can be to deal with second-hand trauma. Not the most riveting piece of writing but an amazing insight into how best to research and grow your own knowledge. It was particularly nice knowing an Australian author has books being sold all over the world and how important that those books are to other people. She did a brief showing at a library local to some of my extended family however I was working and thus couldn’t attend, which I am very sad about.

It feels like the author had no idea what she wanted this book to be. Unwanted advice on marriage and how to be a grandparent, while also seemingly trying to convince the readers how much of a genuine connection she had with Lale and the other people who are characters in her other books.

I don’t think this should have been a book. Heather Morris has written very popular books and this made me more eager to read them but at the same time, it could have been an essay, or a ‘peek behind the scenes’ of how these stories came to be. There was a lot of repetition so a serious edit down was definitely in order.

Incredibly repetitive! Interesting stories about Lale and Cilka but I found I’d heard the same story four or five times by the end as it was just repeated throughout in slightly different ways. Also very preachy and turns into more of a self-help book for parents which makes very little sense. Was utterly confusing to read and was really not a fan.
