  “Maya Angelou has not had an easy life. But is a poet hands above most and a Poet Laureate who wrote a poem for President Clinton's inauguration. This is a book that shows us more of her spirit and her soul. ”

  “I agree with Sarah I.-- it's hard to believe that this is Maya's story. She seems so completely different than the "Maya" in the book, but I guess that's what life is about... It's inspiring to know how much she endured.
  
  I especially enjoyed the vignettes on the various famous people Maya has had contact with. ”
