S tories are powerful , and good stories even more so, because they have the ability to move us, upend our perspectives, shape our attitudes, and inspire us to action. When I was young, my mom introduced me to JRR Tolkien by reading me The Hobbit on road trips. As an adult, I still love Tolkien, and I think thats because of what Tolkien called the deep magic of stories, which is a way of describing the power stories have to change the world. In a different but similar way, this book has a deep magic to it. Meaning, there is no way you read it and leave unchanged or walk away uninspiredthis is too good a story for that. Though, I may be a little biased because my mom, the one who first introduced me to good stories, is Jane Ann Craig, and this story youre about to read is her story, our story.
My mom has always been the best storyteller. I loved traveling with her because she would fill the slow times with exotic tales of faraway places and amazing people. Little did I realize that we were, at the very same time, living a grand adventure of our own. With age comes perspective and the ability to understand the gravity of our lives and the courage it took to lead, take risks, and make something truly beautiful of it all. What I understand now is that my mom was writing her story in the midst of struggle and hardship. A story that has enabled and inspired me to also a write a story worth telling, and thats what I think youll get from reading this book: a new inspiration and power to go out and write your own story.
In some ways its a weird thing to introduce your mom and her book to the world. Its an honor but also a strange pressure. How do I tell the story without giving away what youre about to read? What stories do I tell? How much of our personal lives do I reveal? As I was thinking all this through, I thought of two memories that arent included in the book but get at who my mom is and why this book matters. Both stories are simple, but they mean the world to me. The first memory is of seeing The Lion King eight different times in theaters. Eight times! The Lion King is a great movie, but there is no way today I could watch it eight times in a row. But my mom did. She was busy starting a company and providing for our family, and yet she made time to see a kids movie with me eight times. The second memory is similar. There was a stage in our life where my mom had to travel a lot and work long hours. But before she would head off for the day, she would wake me up, place me on her lap, and eat a slow breakfast on the front balcony. I dont remember what we talked about, but I remember feeling known and loved.
These memories may not seem like a big deal, but they are to me, and they represent so much of who my mom is and why she did what she did, which was me. My mom worked hard, endured struggle, and took risks because she wanted to create a life with me, not simply for me. She wanted to attend my basketball games, see my plays, meet my friends, vet my girlfriends, take me on adventures, and do normal everyday mom stuff with me. Thats why this book matters to me. Its her story of accomplishing something extraordinary in order to do something ordinary, be my mom. Which really is extraordinary.
