I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings


I have always been a fan of Maya Angelou's poetry so i was curious to read her autobiography. Needless to say, it was amazing. She has a way with words and the way she pours out her heart in the book is commendable. The book details her struggle as a black woman growing up in her momma (grandmother) and mother's home, her deep loving relationship with her brother Bailey, her estranged relationship with her mother's boyfriends and the impact they had on her psyche, her short-lived romantic adventures and eventually her stepping into motherhood. I enjoyed reading it and would love to read it again in future...
