Recommend True Story books - for a gift

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some books based on True stories. The gift is for a girl. Preferably the book would be centered around a female. She likes depressing books, but also ones that end hopefully, or upliftingly, or even something inspirational. It would also preferrably be newer, but not necessary.

Possibly something to do with spirits, if it is a “true story”…
