 | On Whale Island by Daniel Hays
His wife and stepson in tow, Daniel Hays moved to Whale Island, a wooded island of 50 acres (which he owned) off the coast of Nova Scotia, to try living close to nature--and not much else--for a year. Braving the island's storms and luxuriating in a rustic life, Hays writes about his adventures and familial conflicts during their tenure--and about the eventual end of the project, which came about because his wife and stepson were homesick for some of the amenities of civilization, such as friends and good coffee.

 | When Memory Speaks by Jill Ker Conway
Conway, who has written autobiographical memoirs of her own, examines the genre from St. Theresa of Avila and Benjamin Franklin to Gloria Steinem and Kathryn Harrison, and shows how these books are reflective of the eras in which they were written. She also examines the books by women from a feminist perspective, and points out the ways in which they differ from autobiographies by men: Men see themselves as epic heroes, woman see themselves as spiritual seekers.
