Title:   A NARRATIVE REVIEW OF ANN- MARGRET: MY STORY

Abstract
An autobiography is a compendium of a first-hand account of ones life experiences and
achievements in our cosmic space. The essence could be to beam ones existential being from the
first-person narrative that subordinates, to a large extent, some conjectured overtures of
externally articulated artistry. It is generally perceived as boring owing to its lack of suspense. As
permeating from the narrator, it is grossly demurred as subjective in that the narrator tells what
s/he wants the audience to know. The need to debunk this notion motivated this book review. The
researcher critiqued Ann Margrets, Ann Margret: My Story, to achieve this objective. Using the
Qualitative Content Analysis Approach, the study reviewed the birth and times of a Swedish lady
named after a star. The psychological theory was employed to analyze the work cum capture
some socio-cultural values and their relationship with contemporary society. The study delved into
a critical aspect of these socio-cultural values and practices that characterize a social group or
society and how they positively influenced Ann Margrets stepchildren, to encourage a better
appreciation and sustenance of culture. The findings revealed that an autobiography, just like
fiction, reflects society. It is capable of refining ones social network and as a result, can make a
perfect agent of change. In the end, it recommended that the book should be used in both high
schools and tertiary institutions.
