Imagine if all the worn-out, untrue, painful chapters of our lives started to quiet, and the beautiful, unique pieces of who we are were to rise. Imagine if the stories we tell brought us back to our true selves, back to one another. Imagine if they spoke of how we loved and lost and tried our best. How we saw it all, even the parts that hurt.
Jo’s new book, The Stories We Tell, invites us on an authentic and deeply vulnerable journey into her story—and helps shine a light on the beauty of our own—guiding us to release the weights that hold us back so we may live and share our story in truth.
We've all dropped anchor in places that suited us for a time: a city, a perspective, a lie we mistook as truth. This book is an invitation to a kind of life where you know how to hold what you believe—about yourself and the quiet worlds behind the people you pass—with gracious and open hands. To see your story as greater than any past or future thing, but for all the beauty and joy and hope it holds today.
It’s an invitation to take stock of the chapters you’ve lived—the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly—glean what’s gold, and carry only that forward. Let it slow your feet and steady your life-in-motion so you can see where you stand today from a new point of view. No longer through weary or uncertain eyes, but a lens brimming with hope.
—————
“The only way to break free was to rewrite my story. Because something would happen every time my pen stopped: It was like my soul was coming back to my body. Like the deepest parts of me that got knocked around and drowned out by all the crap I let the world convince me about who I was came back to the surface. And what was left was only what was real and true. I was, finally, standing in the fullness of my story. I felt hopeful. I felt full. Our story may crack us open, but it also pieces us back together.
We all have a story to tell. This happens to be mine—every chapter a window into who I am, the journey I’m on, and the season I’m in right now. Because this is my story, maybe you won’t always relate, or maybe it will feel like you’re looking in a mirror. Whatever we have in common and whatever differences lie between us, I only hope my story can help shine a light on the beauty of yours. That my own soul work will stir something of your own. And that by the time you get to the end of my story, you’re also holding the beautiful beginnings of your own.
A story only you can tell. And I hope that you will.”
-Joanna

Q&A
- Is “The Stories We Tell” available in large print?
- Hi there! At this time, The Stories We Tell is not available in large print.
- Will it be coming out in paperback?
- At this time, The Stories We Tell is only available in hardcover.
- Are there pages within the book that include pictures or hand written notes? If so, I’d prefer to buy the hardcover since it’s impossible to view on Kindle. Thanks
- There are no pictures or handwritten notes, but between each chapter there is a special thought or reflection from the previous chapter spread over two pages, that may not show up as well in digital format such as on a Kindle.
- If we order from Magnolia will it be a signed copy of the book?
- Hi Lisa! At this moment, we do not have details about signed copies, and any copies ordered on our website will be unsigned. If these become available, we'll be sure to make an announcement across social media for all of our fans.
- Will this be available in audio?
- Yes! Joanna personally reads the audiobook version, which will be available on Audible and anywhere audiobooks are sold, also on 11/8.
