Nancy Stancill Narrates Life at Six Feet in Her Authentic Memoir, “Tall” In this episode 207, we visit with Nancy Stancill, author of Tall: Love and Journalism in a Six-foot World,” an authentically written and compulsively readable memoir of Nancy’s life from gangly teen to investigative reporter. Author Judy Goldman, author of “Together: A Memoir of a Marriage and a Medical Mishap,” has this to say about the book: "In journalist Nancy Stancill's masterful hands, this memoir about the struggles and satisfactions, bonuses and betrayals of being a very tall woman is not only wonderfully absorbing; it is also instructive. Whether you're a six-footer or you top off at five feet, the book is a reminder that how you measure yourself is more of a determiner of your success and well-being than any measure on a yardstick. Stancill gets it just right. ‘Tall’ is a glorious book, fully alive.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network
