I recently listened to Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou on CD. Her voice is mellifluous; I could listen to her for hours, and did! She recounts the time she spent as a child living with her grandmother, and then as a young teen going to live with her mother in San Francisco. At first Maya called her mother Lady, as she was beautiful and still too unknown to address as Mom. Angelou recounts some of the harrowing experiences that she described in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, but with the new angle of the responses of her mother, a fiercely honest and vibrant woman who loved her children. As Maya grew up and became a mother herself, she looked to Lady for advice and support. The evolution of their relationship is inspiring, and gave me an even deeper respect for Maya Angelou. -- Mia Wigmore
