Maya Angelou’s unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS’s American Masters. “It is true poetry she is writing,” M. F.K . Fisher has observed, “not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity.... It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night...it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.”

I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams.

Publisher's Summary
The story of Maya Angelou’s extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple best-selling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother.
For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence - a presence absent during much of Angelou’s early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call "Lady", revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them.
Delving into one of her life’s most rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships, Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fostered Maya Angelou’s rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights.

Never Enough Mom Books
The world will never have enough excellent books about Mom. This is one of them and it needs to be made into a movie! Who knew? I won't tell you the surprises, just leave it to you to read this short little gem. This is for all those imperfect moms out there and their children who will get it right, eventually, because of the bigness of their love. This was food for the soul for me because I have teens right now, and somehow feel I will never get it right again,which is a weird place to be. Now I have renewed hope.

Unforgettable person
Maya Angelou’s mother is remarkable for her love, her tenacity, her ability to command respect, and for being willing to go where no woman, and certainly no African American woman, has gone before. The story of her relationship with Maya is deeply moving and contains one powerful story after another, each told honestly and without sentimentality. It held my attention and I found myself retelling and discussing stories with my husband as I read. It isn’t as crafted a work as the famous “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” - perhaps, unfolding over a lifetime, it is by nature harder to shape. But worth reading? Powerful? Oh yes.

Mother "Lady's" influence on Angelou's development
Maya Angelou has written another in a series of autobiographical books about her life. In this one, she describes the complicated and unpredictable relationship with her mother, whom she referred to for many years as “Lady.”
In her hallmark terse style of writing, she describes how she and her brother were sent to her paternal grandmother’s in Arkansas for several years, where she found a sense of security, even though recovering from the trauma of childhood rape.
There came a time when she and her brother were unexpectedly sent back to live with their mother—something that young Maya was not prepared for. But, Lady, their mother, seemed determined to find a way for herself and Maya to achieve a close mother-daughter relationship (often in spite of themselves) as they had to get to know, and get used to each other. Lady was determined to show Maya that even though she had not been present in her early life, she would never let her down after that. However, she tended to use unconventional--but often wise--ways of offering that support.
This book explores the journey—often filled with dangerous, unexpected circumstances—through which Maya and her mother learned to find a kind of trust and caring for each other. Lady had had a very involved--even exciting--existence apart from having children, and seemed to have to make room in her life for Maya and her brother. But over time, mother and daughter come to care deeply about each other and form a bond that eventually leads Maya finally to call her “Mother.”
Clearly many of the incidents in this book—often involving danger of various kinds—were influential in shaping Maya Angelou’s subsequent life. Her mother taught her to protect herself, but also to live her life proudly, to the fullest and never doubt herself. This is a very interesting story—one courageously told by one of America’s most beloved and respected writers. Recommend!

Re-told but Beautiful Nonetheless
If you’ve read Angelous’ other autobiographies then you’ve likely heard this stories. Beautifully written, and I cried like I had heard them for the first time, but to be fair, I wouldn’t have picked this book had I known that there would be no new stories told. Regardless, her life is worth re-telling in every way possible.

What An Interesting Life❣️
I’ve always admired Maya Angelou from afar; TV Appearances, brushes with her poetry, accolades from others.
What a WONDERFULLY Interesting, Inspiring, Encouraging and, at times, Joyfully Humorous narration❣️
Hearing the narration in the Author’s Own Voice added so much more to the story, which I found very Inspirational and Touching. ❤️
Value added and both money and time well spent!

wonderful inspiring autobiography
I felt truly uplifted, listening to Maya read her own words, I had just finished listening to "I know why the caged bird sings" there was some overlap of event and detail, but mostly in this bio Maya takes the perspective of how her mothers flawed but strong and admirable will and spirit guided her through life. It is evident that Maya's mother has had a great deal to do with her success. I was left feeling anything is possible as a woman when I heard Maya recount some of her mothers words.
I highly recommend this as a must read/listen for any woman..particularly those like me who have two daughters.

To quote a football term -A book of 2 halves.
This book begins with poetic writing and rich honest language. It draws you in and fully engages you as the author shares her childhood. Then, well it starts to fall apart and eventually becomes a piece of fictional rubbish. Absolute rubbish. It's as if half the book was written by someone else, someone seriously medicated. I cannot recommend this.
