Contained within is the most beautiful prose and imagery I've ever read. There are hopeful and devasting renditions of Angelou's history. Having her narration alongside adds the levity of one recounting their story for future generations to transmit further into history.

What a phenomenal book! I love her cadence in writing. It really is musical! I was horrified at her rape when she was 8 years old. But she has such a gift with words that her description of the confusion and pain she experience was powerfully conveyed. I accidentally read an abridged version so I’ll have to read the unabridged another time.

She is just such a spunky, thoughtful and powerful woman! Cant wait to meet her some day!
