Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou

emotional inspiring sad fast-paced

5.0

I have to give this 5 stars because I just love Maya Angelou and I feel like this part of her autobiography gives so much insight on the relationship with her mother in her adult life and it is absolutely heartwarming. After "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" it is hard to appreciate Vivian Baxter as a mother, because she wasn't a good one. But I loved seeing her parent Maya as an adult, and it brought so much light to the importance of a mother's love in your young adult and even older adulthood. As a mother myself, of a small toddler, it is powerful to see the impact I can have on my daughter throughout her life, if I do a good job loving her.
