“Stories and narratives are often used interchangeably, as synonyms. But here I will draw a crucial distinction between the two. Narratives are stories that do not end – they persist indefinitely. They invite, even demand, action by participants and they reach out to embrace as many participants as possible. They are continuously unfolding, being shaped and filled in by the participants . . . Stories are about plots and action while narratives are about people and potential.”

We built a family business. Your grandfather was a pillar of the community. Your mother was on the board of the hospital. But we also had setbacks. You had an uncle who was once arrested. We had a house burn down. Your father lost a job. But no matter what happened, we always stuck together as a family.’
