A lotta parts were fresh in my memory from Mom & me & mom. Still a great listen.

"I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish-speaking, Native American and Aleut. You are fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered, and I am speaking to you all. Here is my offering to you."
My first-ever book to read from Maya Angelou.
The moment I opened this book, I am never the same.
It is an honor and privilege to be your daughter.

Giving it a little bit more than half because there were some gems but I didn’t find this book to have much of an impact on me.

Beautiful, warm, and inspiring collection of work by Maya Angelou. While she never had a daughter, these essays and poetry are dedicated to the daughters all around her. Reading this book felt like a hug from one of the most wise minds. She is able to cut right to the root of life issues and life virtues in such an incredible way.
This was published 5 years before her death.

I love Maya Angelou and I think this is a wonderful standalone for Maya, for the daughters she never had. Not my favorite of hers, as there are many repeat stories from her other autobiographies, but like I said, a great standalone.

Unfortunately not as good as I'd been told it would be. I'll still look into her bigger works

Surprisingly, I didn't really care for this. I liked the beginning the most, as the rest of it felt a bit too patriotic and too Christian for my taste.
