I love memoirs but I am craving something relatable. I want to know what it’s like to have lived through someone else’s life. I’m looking for a true story (or even based on a true story) of someone’s life. BUT I want this person to be an everyday person. Meaning, not a celebrity. Not someone who escaped war and . Not a rags to riches story etc. I want to read about someone middle class or lower, and their life. Stories about what it was like growing up, and how they changed. Shit they went through that I may be able to relate with. Realizations they’ve had as they became wiser. Bonus points if the author is BIPOC and/or female and/or has a disability. Does this exist??
