In the country of women : a memoir
by Susan Straight
In the Country of Women is a valuable social history and a personal narrative that reads like a love song to America and indomitable women. The daughters of our ancestors carry in their blood at least three continents. We are not about borders. We are about love and survival.

This never happened : a memoir
by Liz Scott
Like an archaeological dig, Liz Scott's memoir This Never Happened goes in search of the answers to the mysteries of her family. In her relentless quest to uncover the truth, she mines photographs and letters, leaving no one, including herself, unexamined. This is a spare work... alternatively heartbreaking and darkly comic. In the end, it is about the struggle to clear away pain to make room for compassion, and the challenge of making peace with questions that will never be answered.
