Autobiography
An autobiography (from the Greek, αὐτός-autos self + βίος-bios life + γράφειν-graphein to write) is a book about the life of a person, written by that person.
Closely associated with autobiography (and sometimes difficult to precisely distinguish from it) is the form of memoir.

I was alone. I had no one. No mother, no father, no brothers, no sisters, no grandmas, no grandpas, no uncles, no aunties, no cousins, and no tribe.

That day I understood with sharp clarity that I didn’t have a mother who wanted me.
