I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
5.0
Loved this book.
I Loved Maya's style of writing.
There are certain feelings in childhood that you completely forget and erase from your memory, which she seems to remember so clear and vividly, were explained with such care that it really brought me back in time, to feelings and questions I had for myself and others. Despite some very dark incidents in her life, Maya carefully weaves her childhood stories together and delivers a beautifully finished product that gives us insight into her precocious self dealing with racism, self-acceptance, and belonging as she grows up in the 40's and 50's.
