I’m finding great healing in reading memoirs by people who have been through traumatic experiences/lives. I enjoyed:
Not without my daughter
Desert flower
Educated
Burned alive
Married by force
Daring to drive
I know why the caged bird sings
I have life
These are all by women but I’m open to memoirs by men aswell.
Thankyou 😊
