# 2023 National Book Festival: 'You: The Story' with Ruta Sepetys

The most powerful aspect of a story is your voice - without it there is no story. In her new book "You: The Story: A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory," Ruta Sepetys teaches aspiring writers how to dig deep into their memories and masterfully explore them on the page in a personal, authentic way. Moderated by Alexa Patrick with teen moderator Abigail Sears.
