When we hear Listen to this, most of us are all ears. It is a good way to capture the attention of folks to whom we want to tell a story. That phrase holds the promise of hearing something interesting, or informative, or funny. As for the words mostly true as a part of the book's title, we suspect that is the case with every story that is told. On the question of truth, the words of Susan Estrich ring true: . . truth is a construct, infected with the biases of the teller. A story, true or not, comes from a particular point of view from a teller who may concentrate on parts of the story that another teller might leave out. As Bryce Stevens has said, In the telling, we discover ourselves. And in the listening, we learn that none of us is alone. We hope that will be the case for the people who read this book and hear our stories
