Been loving Chris van Dusen too! Did you read the one about the true story of the truck in Canada?? Drawing a blank on title...

Totally buying the grammar book and putting Paterson’s memoir on hold! Do you have a favorite memoir?

A favorite memoir! That is hard to pick.

One I read in college that sticks with me is The Latehomecomer by Kao Kalia Yang. It's written by a Hmong refugee whose family came to America when she was quite young. It's their story of being dropped in a country that is not theirs and learning to pick up the pieces. I don't hear it recommended often, so I like to mention it when I get a chance.

What about you? Any favorites that rise to the top?
