Two of my favorites that would work are *Becoming* by Michelle Obama.  It
is not political and there is a young adult version.
*Gone to the Woods* by Gary Paulsen.  It was so moving, that even though I
read it when it came out, I think about passages often. It's hard for me to
believe that we will not have another Gary Paulsen book.  :(
