My Stories

Janice Anderson started writing in high school and never stopped. I would like to see more of your writing, if I may, said a teacher in 1936. In her memoir, My Stories, we are lucky to see more of her charming, straightforward writing: Stories of growing up in the Northeast, raising a family in Florida and acting on the stage in California. Along the way, she learned to fly, and she dealt with an unbearable tragedy. Janice Anderson's stories are the family recollections all of us would like to have, if only we had a writer in the family. Janice Anderson has given us an easy-to-read and engaging example of memoir writing.
