In a world where it feels like everything is a hot take, Joanna Gaines invites you to take yourself seriously, and get into your own feelings in the most unironic way in ‘The Stories We Tell’
Joanna Gaines at her book launch in New York City in November, 2022.She was trying to make sense of a strange time in her life: On one hand, an unfulfilling internship at CBS News was slowly killing her long-held dream of being a news anchor. On the other, the diversity of New York all around her was a revelation to someone who’d grown up half-Korean in otherwise homogeneously white small towns.
All those words, scribbled down in a youthful fumble toward healing, are not what you’ll read when you pick up, Gaines’ best-selling new book. Nor will you find the fruit of the second time she did that same exercise as a 44 year old whose life couldn’t be farther than the one she’d imagined for herself when she went back to Texas after that summer in New York.
“I was ready to catch my breath and look closely at my life,” Gaines writes in the book’s introduction. And so she went through her journals, made some voice memos, and, sitting in her laundry room, began to trace out her story once more, in search of clarity as she enters what she calls “the second half” of her life.
This can be a little eye-glazing at times, in the same way that hearing someone talk about their journey – which detour they had to take when the highway was jammed, how many hours their plane was delayed – can be fascinating to the storyteller and devastatingly boring to the listener.
