( ) jeunessesmth | Dec 19, 2009 | Angelou poetically recounts her earliest and most formative years spent with her grandmother in Arkansas. The powerful lessons she learned there would later help her deal with tragedy and an unwanted pregnancy while living in California. (  ) mmillet | Dec 14, 2009 | I could hear her voice as I read her book. There is a musical quality to the words even when they describe pain or hardship. (  ) mamzel | Sep 22, 2009 | Maya has been able to explain a little about life in the south, and a few other places, for black kids/teenagers during the 30's and 40's. She does this simply by telling of her own experiences and those of her family - the benefit of a glimpse into a different time and place is simply a byproduct of her life story. Even putting aside the racial issues that are evident in her youth, Maya has beautifully strung together almost 15 years of her life and told a story of the love between family (touching on many different family relationships including estranged parents), and the struggles all young people go through as they grow into adults. A particularly funny scene for me was when Maya was able to commandeer a standard car reasonably successfully with no experience. Recommended. ( ) LanaE | Sep 12, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
