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, Heather 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 Heather’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.
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, Heather 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.
