There are several books similar to what 'Overboard' might be (if it's a true - story - based book). 'Just Mercy' by Bryan Stevenson is a powerful book based on his work as a lawyer fighting for justice for the wrongly condemned. 'Educated' by Tara Westover is another remarkable true - story - based book that tells of her journey from a very restricted upbringing in a survivalist family to getting an education. And 'Hidden Figures' by Margot Lee Shetterly is based on the true story of African - American women who played crucial roles in the space program.

One book that comes to mind is 'Into the Wild' by Jon Krakauer. It tells the true story of a young man who ventures into the Alaskan wilderness. Another is 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' which is based on the real - life story of a woman whose cells were used for medical research without her knowledge. And 'Unbroken' by Laura Hillenbrand is also a great one, based on the true story of a World War II veteran.

Sure. 'A Long Way Gone' by Ishmael Beah is a memoir that is based on his own experiences as a child soldier in Sierra Leone. 'The Glass Castle' by Jeannette Walls is also based on her real - life story growing up in a dysfunctional family. These books, like 'Overboard' (assuming it's based on a true story), offer a glimpse into real - life situations and the human experience.
