Memoirs are not biographies. Biographies are the story of someone's life – their whole life. Memoirs focus on a specific period of a person's life. Memoirs tell the story of how a person navigated through a unique situation or how someone managed a personal relationship. Because memoirs tell varied stories, they can be found in all parts of the library. You can find memoirs in the health section, the business section and there are even some memoirs tucked in with the knitting books. There is surely a memoir that would be a perfect fit for you. Let us help you find it!
