Listen to this interview with New Hampshire writer Alex Myers , who wrote a novel last year about coming out as transgender. Myers also participated in a Community Project Grant last year for the “ One Book, One Valley ” community read in the Mount Washington Valley.

Memoirs, biographies, and other nonfiction works are some of my favorite genres to read because they allow us to better understand people and history through a story.  Enrique's Journey  by Sonia Nazario tells of common human experiences like love, failure, sacrifice, and commitment to family as Enrique travels from Honduras to the United States. I think if we all tried to empathize and understand other people's stories more, we would find that we have a lot more in common than not. ENJOY
