“I Am, I Am, I Am” by Maggie O’Farrell is a memoir of seventeen stories about times when the author nearly died. Instead of telling her life story in order, the book jumps between different moments from childhood to adulthood. Through these experiences, O’Farrell reflects on how fragile life can be and how close people can come to death.

Rather than focusing on death itself, it highlights survival and encourages appreciation for being alive.
