The Greek myths and classic tales we know and love.
Our stories have power.
Our stories shape us, our communities, and our world.
They can take us deep within ourselves and lead us to healing. They can guide us to our strength and ability to create the world where we want to live. For L.D. Burke, stories have done both.
L.D. Burke writes to give others the empowerment she’s found in her favorite stories—the ones that have guided her through her darkest times and challenged her to grow. She hopes you come away from her works believing in yourself and in your ability to shape the world around you.
