this is the contiuing story of the author's incredible life.is very interesting to read them in order as i did.
this is my other "faorite" of the series. it is the 4th book of the series. this portrays her life in NYC and The Harlem Writers Guild. She meets many famous people and this leads her to a new chapter in her life.

Anything that Maya Angelou writes is poignant and well written - this personal narrative tells about her relationships with both famous people and those who are closest to her heart - her son, especially.

I didn't like this book. It seemed to be rather dry. The old adage of "too much information!" applies here. It's good for a history of her life ,however.

I don't normally like biographies/autobiographies. But I'm changing my tune.

She writes well. Very real. Very true. It is her emotions and her life out there. Takes courage to write something like this.

This book makes me think. Makes me think about racial relations and how deep it runs.

Time that this book covers....She works part of the time with Martin Luther King, Jr (in a ny chapter). Meets with Malcolm X. Works to further the civil rights movement and spends part of the time in Africa.

She talks about her life/son/marriage in with the history.

"Verve, nerve and joy in her own talents effervesce throughout this book"--Julian O'Faolain

"Maya Angelou's five books of autobiography [this is book 4] are a testament to the talents and resilience of an extraodinary writer!"

A wonderful book.

Love all of her books. This one goes through the M.L. King years.
One problem the first 6 pages came loose from the binding. It is in good shape otherwise
