Biography & Memoir
Real people, real lives.
Biography and memoir overview
Biographies and memoirs allow us to enter other people's worlds and lives. They inform and entice us to learn about the era when the person lived and allow us to walk in their shoes. Sometimes they make us laugh and sometimes they make us cry. They always allow us insight into another person's point of view and they always entertain us!
