Wonderful book overall, and a beautiful, ending to a story that starts uncertain of itself.

Ohhhhhhhh wow. What a treat to listen to Maya Angelou tell her story (and even sing!). This was very difficult to listen to in the beginning pertaining to what happened when she was 8 years old, and I had to take a break before journeying on. I loved how she mentioned her journey with reading since she was very young, and I was flabbergasted at some of her experiences (the junk yard!). This is an important read.

It’s hard to give a poet anything but five stars on their autobiography. I can’t imagine having such a strong memory of my formative years after going through so many transitions and traumas.
