This is a biography which describes Maya Angelou's life from the time she was three years old until sixteen. It is an amazingly written book about what it was like growing up as an African American girl in Arkansas, with her grandmother, St, Louis with her mother and family and San Francisco with her mother and sometimes father during the first half of the 20th century. Dr. Angelou is know for her strength, activism and beautiful prose. As you read her story, you understand the many obstacles that she overcame to become the woman she was and still is in the hearts of many. Reading this made me appreciate her work even more.
