Mom & Me & Mom
Angelou's final memoir, on the mother who sent her away as a child and the reconciliation that followed.
In her final memoir Maya Angelou turns to the relationship she had circled for decades: her mother, Vivian Baxter, who sent her away as a small child and then re-entered her life as a formidable ally. It is a book about abandonment and about the harder work of forgiveness, written with the directness of someone who no longer needs to explain herself. Emma Watson chose it for Our Shared Shelf in November 2016.
