Letter to My Daughter by Maya Angelou

5.0

---

I only discovered the writings of Maya Angelou after she died. Something about her obituary stirred me to read Mom & Me & Mom, which led me to Letter to My Daughter. Maya's simple yet powerful words hit home with their poignancy, honesty, and call to think. I purchased Mom & Me & Mom for my Aunt, and now feel that I'd like to gift Letter to My Daughter to her and each of my friends on their birthdays. Perhaps what strikes me most about her writing is the peek into the being of a woman who had the strength to see the good and fair, and the determination to search and advocate for it.
