In general, my guidelines for buying a book are never to buy one where the author's name appears in bigger print than the title of the book .....

I also tend to gravitate towards biographies about people who've had difficult childhoods, however I don't want anything that will be harrowing ...........Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
