SYNOPSIS

This second book from Angelou's autobiographical series follows "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." With gripping poignancy, wisdom, and a fierce passion (dosed with a dash of humor) she tells the story of her life as a young black woman in 1940s America, beginning with her teen years.

FROM THE CRITICS

Chicago Tribune

"The book is a gem. It presents a descriptive picture of the texture of the lives and times of many black people in the late '40s before the dawn of civil rights."

The New Yorker

"Miss Angelou tells the story of this dauntless, reckless, foolish girl with few flourishes; it doesn't need them."

New Times Book Review

"Maya Angelou's second book about her life as a young black woman in America is engrossing and vital, rich and funny and wise...Maya Angelou writes like a song, and like the truth."
