Maya Angelou and her mother started their lives together tumultuously, but as Baxter explains later on was probably for the best. Angelou being raised by her paternal grandmother is always looked upon quite fondly as well, which makes me smile 🥰
But Baxter’s full and joyful life is reflected throughout this autobiography. Angelou does it again! Even if you don’t read all of the others, I’d recommend this one 🙋🏻♀️
4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ Content warnings below!
