Read the excerpt from the prologue of A Girl Named Zippy.
The book that follows is about a child from Mooreland, Indiana, written by one of the three hundred. It’s a memoir, and a sign of gratitude, a way of returning. I no longer live there; I can’t speak for the town or its people as they are now. Someone has taken my place. Whoever she is, her stories are her own.
What does the author mean by “her stories are her own”?
She knows that others will try to retell her story about Mooreland.
She wants to tell the stories of all the children growing up in Mooreland.
She is pointing out that many people now grow up in Mooreland.
She is sharing only her memories of growing up in Mooreland.
