really liked it

I loved this memoir by Angelou, because although many horrible things happened to her this is not a pity memoir. It is presented and told in a straight forward manner, a kind of this is my story take it or leave it. Loved the relationship between her and her mom, although that relationship took a while in coming, also the love she felt for her brother, Bailey. She accomplished so many things, in so many different fields and places, which is awe inspiring, especially during the time period when women were fighting to be recognized, let alone a black women. Loved the pictures, wish there had been a few more. What a admirable woman and role model. ARC from NetGalley and publisher.
