This Boy's Life: A Memoir Tobias Wolff
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.

Two that have worked well for us over the years are Annie Dillard's An American Childhood and Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, the former featuring a 7-year-old girl and the latter a teenage boy.

This Boy's Life: A Memoir by Tobias Wolff – A Book Review. I was surprised at how good that novel was because Wolff (if he is known — and more people should read him) is better known for his short stories and this memoir. He doesn't like these new works because they are memoirs.
