What’s the difference between a memoir or a biography? I’m glad you asked! Memoirs typically are autobiographical, focusing on a specific event, time, or aspect of the author’s life. While diving into that individual event, the author also tries to gain a deeper understanding of their life. Memoirs are some of my favorite nonfiction books as the authors seem more connected to their lives as they are telling their own stories. Based on personal experiences, memories, reflections, and knowledge, the author pulls readers into their lives. Try one of the memoirs listed below! As of this writing, all of these titles are owned by the Davenport Public Library. Descriptions are provided by the publishers.
