Hippie Boy: A Girl's Story | 
pickI picked the tagged for H because not many know of it. It's a memoir that reads like a novel, about growing up in an oppressive religious environment and with an abusive steparent. I only read it on a lark because I am distantly related to everyone with her surname, and was curious. It's a very powerful read, and for a while the author had a nonprofit that helped teens find their voice through writing. #Alphabetgame #LetterH
SleepyDragon Author also lost her sight, wrote another memoir about the degenerative disease that took it, and now works as a ghostwriter and motivational speaker, giving workshops and mentorships for aspiring memoir writers. I googled her last night, and was sad that her nonprofit for teens was no more. 2y
