About Elaine:
I’m a native Texan, now firmly transplanted in New Zealand. For over 30 years, I’ve researched family stories as a professor of developmental psychology in the U.S. and New Zealand. As a mother of two sons, I’ve been fascinated by the stories they’ve told me over the years and the stories they sought out from books, movies, TV, video games, and real life.
"Stories sustain us, they teach us, they protect us, and they join us to others." --
