The title pretty much says it all! I am a sucker for true stories about anything, crime, love, betrayal, etc.
I have read the Dave Pelzer trilogy already!

Angela's Ashes and 'Tis by Frank McCourt are a great read.
I just finished MAYADA, it's about a woman from interesting heritage that lived during Saddam Husseins reign. Very interesting because her family had alot to do with the modernization of Iraq after the Ottoman Empire.

Notes Left Behind: 135 Days with Elena
Book Description~
Elena dreamed of becoming a teacher. Although her time on this earth was far too short to fulfill her dream, she left behind an enlightening lesson on life. Elena taught those around her to appreciate the miracle of everyday living even as the six-year-old battled brain cancer.
Through journal entries written as a remembrance for Elena's younger sister, Brooke and Keith Desserich share their emotional journey as they negotiate their contradictory impulses to fight Elena's cancer at all costs and realize the inevitable outcome. The journal is a reminder to parents to appreciate every precious moment they have with their children.
Included in this book are the private messages that Elena secretly hid around her home, knowing her family would find them when she was gone. These notes show us how even during the darker moments of life, it is possible to find hope and encouragement through selfless love.

I have read so many!!
The book that initially got me really into reading and especially reading true stories was a book that i read way back in early highschool. It is called 'Not without my Daughter' by Betty Mahmoody. Its about international child abduction and your rights in foreign countries when married to a foreigner.
Since then i have read thousands!! One that i read not too long ago that i found really interesting and inspiring is a book called 'The Horse boy' about a young boy with Autism and the journey his parents went on with him in the hope to help him. They actually travel across Mongolia visiting different Sharmans (the mongolian religion of healing).
I could go on and on......
Happy reading!
