![]() I got to thinking about all this when I read And Now We Have Everything: On Motherhood Before I Was Ready by Meaghan O’Connell. It’s not novelty that draws me to a memoir, at least not always. High stakes make for great reading, but examine any life, and you’ll see the stakes get pretty high for all of us at some point, even if the only decisions we ever make are the ones billions of people have made before us and billions will make again. But I also want to read about the lives (and deaths) of people who face nothing extraordinary at all, whose stories exemplify the challenges and realities of common, daily existence. Send me your tales of life-and-death adventure. ![]() Do I want to know how someone escaped a cult, pulled off a heist, or became famous after surviving a freak accident? Absolutely. I am 100 percent here for a good stranger-than-fiction memoir. ![]()
