"A beautiful book" Stories are alive--and they shape our personal lives and collective identities, for better and worse.In Everything Is a Story , award-winning Indigenous author Kaitlin B. Curtice considers how stories take root in our lives like an acorn that grows into an oak tree. Which stories should we pass on to future generations--and which can we finally let go?Curtice invites us to explore the power of story to liberate or limit us, to build compassion or create division. With gentle insights that speak to people across the spiritual spectrum, she guides us through the art of storytelling as a path toward healing and connection."A beautiful book about the stories that make us who we are and connect us to the earth, the cosmos, and one another."-- Eboo Patel , founder and president, Interfaith America; author of We Need to Build: Field Notes for Diverse Democracy "As astute communicators know, we best understand our world not through data or evidence or reason but mostly through stories. That's why this is such a potentially powerful book for those who read it!"-- Bill McKibben , author of Here Comes the Sun "A guide for learning how to engage a story, with purpose and urgency and care.

And like any skilled teacher, this book models for us precisely what it describes. It's a story about a story, infused with Kaitlin's wisdom and generosity."-- Simran Jeet Singh , from the foreword.
