This is the first ever Maya Angelou book that I have picked up. A short read sort of like a memoir of her childhood to adulthood days. The way she has put down her traumatic experiences of childhood makes you have a lump in your throat. The writing is very intense and emotionally powerful.
I look forward to exploring more of Maya's works.
