This multivoiced account reveals how problematic turning-point experiences in a university class are perceived, organized, constructed, and given meaning by a group of interacting individuals. More specifically, it explores the attempts by a professor and 10 students to come to grips with fundamental issues related to writing narrative accounts that represent aspects of people's lives. This proved to be a particularly rich exploration, bringing into the arena all of the problems related to choice of data, analysis of data, structure of the account, stance of the author, tense, case, adequacy of the account, and more.
