Mom & Me & Mom

Maya Angelou

‘’Mom & Me & Mom’’ is the last book in a series of autobiographies by Maya Angelou, which focuses on her relationship with her mother Vivian Baxter. Since Vivian left Maya and her brother when they were just a few years old, the relationship between these two women did not start out well. Despite this, Angelou does not remember her mother with resentment, but rather with gratitude for everything she did for her later in life.
