Mom & Me & Mom
by Maya Angelou
Angelou's depiction of her mother and her struggles throughout her time as a single mother truly made me reevaluate my personal understanding of love and perseverance in times of adversary. During this trying time in our nation, I feel that everyone should pick up this book and give it a read.
Angelou's prose has a conversational tone that makes it easy to become absorbed in her story and before you know it, the book will be over. This biography shows you how a mother's love should not be defined by her mistakes, but by her attempts to be there for her children. It teaches you the importance of learning how to forgive, but not forget and it also inspires you to go after your dreams, no matter the cost.
Here are two quotes that resonated with me the most:
"Love heals. Heals and liberates. I use the word love, not meaning sentimentality, but a condition so strong that it may be that which holds the stars in their heavenly positions and that which causes the blood to flow orderly in our veins."
"Just do what you think is right, and then be ready to back it up even with your life."
