A touching memoir about motherhood, Mom & Me & Mom unveils the early life of the influential Maya Angelou, who is most known for the persevering legacy she left behind as a poet and civil rights activist.

Angelou's memoir covers her early life growing up with her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas, to her early adolescence when she and her older brother Bailey are sent to live with their birth mother in San Francisco to her adult life as a single mother, dancer, singer and film director.

This short memoir/autobiography is a testament to Angelou's enduring perseverance at a time when it was especially difficult to be a black woman in America. Angelou's intimately endearing recollections of her tenacious mother, Vivien Baxter, reminds us that we will never outgrow needing our mothers.
