Maya Angelou

Dedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to my Daughter reveals Maya Angelou's path to living well and living a life with meaning. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: it's part guidebook, part memoir, part poetry - and pure delight.

Maya Angelou was raised by her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Here Angelou details what brought her mother to send her away and unearths the well of emotions she experienced long afterward as a result.
