This book is full of stories of Maya Angelou's life

Her stories range from sad to hopeful to funny to heartbreaking, and are all told in a distinctive voice. Stories are told with specific mix of youthful innocence and drama along with mature knowledge.

I did, quite honestly, find the stories a little disconnected and slow to go through, but this book was really powerful, and the end was especially hopeful and beautiful. 

PG-13+ For rape and other triggering topics
