There are no words suitable to describe her writing. This book is a treasure. God Bless Her.

Great book! Love Maya Angelou so much to be learned from this story

Excellent easy read that highlights the struggle of an American legend and the unconditional love and bond of a mother and daughter. This book has allowed me to discover a new found respect for beloved Dr. Maya Angelou. Her willingness to be candid about her life is profound. Her humility to share is priceless. This book will surely bring insight and the true meaning of love to it's readers.

Wonderful! As alive as "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", the reader is there!

She's an amazing writer and an amazing human being. I absolutely LOVED everything about this book!!

What a great and quick read! Wonderfully written, feeds the soul. Thank you Maya Angelou! If you're considering reading this novel just go for it. It's a winner!

I've had such love, respect & admiration for Ms. Angelou for years & now I have love, respect & admiration for her Mother! 😊

After reading "I know Why the Caged Bird Sings" I was really looking forward to this book. I thought it would be a further insight into the life she beautifully described in Caged Bird. If I had not read Caged Bird, I don't think I would have any feel for the major people in her life and about whom the book was about. Maya's mother was described through lines of what was to be interpreted as wisdom, which had no real appeal to me, and it left me feeling that there was a distance between Maya and her mother created by an unnerving respect, rather than a Mother/Daughter affection. I also thought it was over priced. I would not recommend this book.

Delightful , engaging and typical of the descriptive style of this phenomenal woman!!

I cannot find words to say. This book was precious.
