"""Things That Matter is the fruit of a truly communal, interdisciplinary collaboration between scholars and practitioners intrigued by the myriad ways in which people's cherished objects serve as 'portals' into the stories of their lives during the course of later life. This thoughtful, engaging book is thus also about stories that matter and is a most valuable site for exploring, and honouring, the living, breathing story worlds that we enter, and re-enter, throughout our lives."" - Mark Freeman, Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Society, College of the Holy Cross ""This book reminds us that narratives are not just about the stories we tell - they also include the personal objects that embody rich meaning in our lives."" - Kate de Medeiros, Professor of Gerontology, Concordia University"
