‘Stories are what connect us and remind us that hope is always possible.’ – Heather Morris

Morris is one of the highest selling authors in the world, with over six million books sold globally. Her’s novels are widely acclaimed for their humanity, empathy and hope – hope that is needed more than ever right now.

Heather Morris’s Facebook Live event series aims to bring her real-life stories, her experiences of listening, and her trademark care and consideration directly to fans.

Morris will speak to readers about navigating through these hard times and calling on them to reach out to others, to listen, and to share that sense of hope.

She says:

Learn more about the experiences that have shaped my life and the stories of hope that inspire my writing. I am excited to be spending this time with you. I will be telling you a little about a beautiful village in Slovakia called Krompachy. It has become a special place to me and I want to share with you why that is so.

There will be exclusive insights into Heather Morris’s upcoming book, exciting reveals and more, as well as the opportunity for readers to join in a Q&A, with questions encouraged in advance on Facebook or via email to heather.morris@myreadersclub.co.uk.

The first of the Facebook Live events is happening on Monday 11 May 2020 at 12.00pm in the UK (13.00pm South African time) and can be viewed on Heather Morris’s author page on Facebook.

About Stories of Hope

In Stories of Hope, Heather Morris will explore the art of listening – a skill she employed when she first met Lale Sokolov, the tattooist of Auschwitz. It was her ability to listen that led Lale to entrust Heather with his story. Her novel based on his life, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, has sold nearly six million copies worldwide. Now she shares her story of how she learned to listen.

From a very young age, Morris learned that people would share their most sacred and intimate stories with her, if she stopped and listened to them. Stories of Hope will examine and explore Morris’s journey, in the form of a series of tales of the remarkable people she has met, the extraordinary stories they have shared with her, and the lessons they hold for us all.

Stories of Hope: Finding Inspiration in Everyday Lives will be published later this year.

About Heather Morris

Heather Morris is an international number-one bestselling author, who is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Morris was introduced to an elderly gentleman who ‘might just have a story worth telling’. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. As their friendship grew, Lale entrusted her with the innermost details of his life during the Holocaust to her. Heather originally wrote Lale’s story as a screenplay – which ranked high in international competitions – before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Her second novel, Cilka’s Journey, is a follow-up to The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
