Description
A moving memoir about Maya Angelou's relationship with her mother. For the first time, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her bond with Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose presence was both felt and absent during much of Angelou's early years. When Angelou's marriage began to crumble, she and her brother were sent away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Arkansas. This experience had a lasting impact on Angelou, but it also led to a reunion with her mother that would change the course of their relationship forever. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes this journey, revealing the moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them. Through this story, Angelou explores the healing and love that evolved between her and Vivian over the years, a love that fostered her rise from difficult circumstances to achieve great things.
