A memoir about home and belonging, from the author of I KNOW WHY
THE CAGED BIRD SINGS 'A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a
truly phenomenal woman' BARACK OBAMA Maya Angelou's five volumes of
autobiography, beginning with I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, are
a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary
writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a black
woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also
hope, joy, achievement and celebration. In the fifth volume, Maya
Angelou emigrates to Ghana only to discover that 'you can't go home
again' but she comes to a new awareness of love and friendship,
civil rights and slavery - and the myth of mother Africa. 'She
moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a
fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds'
OPRAH WINFREY 'She was important in so many ways. She launched
African American women writing in the United States. She was
generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a
real original. There is no duplicate' TONI MORRISON
