About this ebook
What happens when the story you grew up believing begins to change? For Sarah Polley, the search for truth would become far more complicated than simply remembering the past. At the center of that journey stood her mother, Diane Polley, a remarkable woman whose life, personality, and relationships shaped the daughter Sarah would become.Long before Sarah Polley became an acclaimed filmmaker, actor, and storyteller, she was a child growing up in a family filled with love, complexity, and unanswered questions. As she matured, memories that once seemed certain began to take on new meanings. Her exploration of Diane’s life would ultimately force her to confront difficult questions about family, identity, memory, and the stories we tell ourselves about the people we love.Inspired by the remarkable story behind Stories We Tell, this book explores the relationship between mother and daughter and the layers of memory that can separate what happened from what we believe happened. It examines Diane Polley’s life, Sarah’s childhood, her journey into filmmaking, and the deeply personal discoveries that transformed the way she understood her family.How well can we ever know the people closest to us? Can different versions of the same life all contain a piece of the truth? And what happens when a daughter begins looking beyond her childhood memories to understand the woman who raised her?Stories We Tell is ultimately a story about more than one family. It is about the fragile nature of memory, the power of perspective, and the complicated ways love can shape the stories we carry with us.
