March Memoirs
Don't miss these.







This is  one of my favorites. It is for "The Glass Castle" reader. Inspiring, challenging memoir of a young girl living off the grid with her survivalist parents and siblings. Her drive to go to college and beyond without the basic structure of an education is as mind blowing as running a marathon without sneakers. You won't forget her! If you liked "Hillbilly Elegy" you will enjoy this read.




This book takes off like a bullet. Maggie O'Farrell shares her 17 brushes with death, some frightening, some just bad luck. A message to her daughter who lives with life threatening allergies to realize we are all on the edge of death everyday. It reaches your heart. Poignant.
