Publisher's Note
A phenomenal #1 bestseller that has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly three years, this memoir traces Maya Angelou's childhood in a small, rural community during the 1930s. Filled with images and recollections that point to the dignity and courage of black men and women,Angelou paints a sometimes disquieting, but always affecting picture of the people--and the times--that touched her life.

The moving and beautiful autobiography of a talented black woman. ". . . I have no words for this achievement, but I know that not since the days of my childhood . . . have I found myself so moved . . . Her portrait is a Biblical study of life in the midst of death".--James Baldwin.

Industry Reviews
"[T]ell[s] of finding hope in the midst of loss and adversity, and about the triumph of the human spirit. In these days and times, it's the kind of reading many people may yearn for."
Charlotte Observer (04/25/2002)

      Maya Angelou's words roll off the page...

    Maya Angelou's words roll off the page with such ease and grace. She paints a vivid picture of life in the south as a young girl. The povery, heartache, ingnorance, and struggle are poignant, yet so is her innocence, joy in life and her love of family. With her flowing words she opens up a window into another time and place. I was really drawn into this autobiographical work and found it hard to put down.
