The big question when writting autobiographically, even if names are changed and composite character are created, is: Who's still alive that you care about?

Past that, if you haven't read "The Nanny Diaries", you should for research. It was written by two women, composited from a collection of experiences but it was obviously authenitic. It's funny, awful and scathing at the same time and never preachy. Beyond research, I think you'd enjoy it. I did.
