This was my first Maya Angelou, and her writing is so good. I wasn't absolutely enthralled, but I really liked listening to it. Whew, she went through such trauma, and it's incredible that she made it out the other side.

Insightful and raw telling of Maya’s life in her own words, I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to finally read. A lot of the themes resonated with me, and I couldn’t put it down even as I read so of the very difficult events. The way Maya writes is poetic and beautiful, I highly recommend reading her works to everyone.
