For anyone who wants to write about their life, but feels daunted by the task this is a good book to help simplify the process by breaking it down into writing individual stories around specific life themes. Ideal for the writing novice or somebody who wants to record their own history for their children or for future generations.

The chapters are broken down into smaller sections and the book is full of writing and editing tips for those new to writing and brimming with quotes and examples from other people’s personal stories.

Good starting point for a novice memoir writer.
