It is hard to stop thinking about this book, one of the autobiographies from Maya Angelou, focusing on her life from the ages of 3- 17. When you think that it was first published in 1969, 50 years ago when stories like this weren't talked about, how revolutionary it must have been. I think I read this first over 30 years ago, but it still felt fresh and even more relevant reading it now. How this came from a time when people knew hardships and poverty in a way we can't really understand. I can see why this book has continued to be read over the decades. 5/5
