In this book, Angelou details what brought her mother to send her away, and unearths the well of emotions she experienced long afterward as a result. For the first time, she reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence, a presence absent during much of the author's early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Their reunion a decade later began a story that has never before been told.

OK submitted by michael007 on July 2, 2013, 10:49am Mom & me & mom is OK.

The last of a great series submitted by kerenemoore on July 17, 2021, 11:37am I started reading Maya's autobiographies as a young child. There wasn't anything left in the children's section to read and the title caught my eye and curiosity. From there, I was hooked. I read every autobiography and poetry book she published. To my knowledge, this was her final work before she passed away. In this work, we finally get an in-depth view of Maya's relationship with her mother. It is startling, assuring, and life all about life and death. Very good read.
