What makes a perfect memoir? Join three inspiring, fearless women as they share their astonishing personal stories – and what it was like turning them into compelling reads.

Named non-fiction book of the year by The Guardian and the Spectator, Sins of My Father is Lily Dunn’s searing account of how her childhood was upended when her father joined a cult. Her latest book, Into Being, is about the radical power of memoir writing. In Mistress and Commander and Pages From My Passport, Amelia Dalton shares the warm, honest, and often thrilling story of how she moved on from family heartbreak to become commander of her own boat – a career change that has seen her dubbed “the Indiana Jones of small, glamorous cruise ships.”
