Stories on Audio:
      Written and Recorded by Joyce Maynard

Over the years, I've written dozens of pieces for a variety of magazines and newspapers, as well as for my syndicated column, Domestic Affairs. My audio compilations feature a handful of these stories, read by me. Some of the stories on What Happened were first heard on NPR's All Things Considered. Click below for text and audio samples.
