Jodi Picoult is great (I just finished "Nineteen Minutes," which I really enjoyed) and who doesn't love Jennifer Weiner? Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns are also on my favorites list. Sigh---being an avid reader is hard---too many good books, so little time!

She too was a country girl (Vandallia, Illinois) with the soul of a city girl. Read her book, Writing Your Life and you will learn about her and about writing your story in a natural, compelling way. I was her student for 10 years before she died in 2007 and without her I never would have wrote or published, Eight Days in Provence, a travel memoir. www.jennifer-huntley.com.<BR/>I'd also suggest Stephen King's, On Writing, part memoir, part writing tips served up in his entertaining, direct and yes, literate style.
