Product Description |
For a world of devoted readers, a much-awaited new volume of absorbing stories and inspirational wisdom from one of our best-loved writers.
Dedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to My Daughter reveals Maya Angelou’s path to living well and living a life with meaning. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight.
Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son.
Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a “lifelong endeavor,” or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice–Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family.
Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches; it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share.
“I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native Americans and Aleut. You are fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered, and I am speaking to you all. Here is my offering to you.”

Maya Angelou |
|
This was a collection of experiences from Maya Angelou. It was a very quick read but uplifting. |

Inspiring |

The title "Letter to my Daughter" is a prelude to what the book is about. I became more acquaitant with Maya. She shared personal experiences that demonstrated how she over came and continued to persevered through adversity. It's a book that you would share with your daughter in hopes that she would chase her dreams regardless of circumstances. Maya is a every day person that continues to push pass hurts and disappointments of life. |

Wonderful Book |
|
This is a great and heart warming book. All of her books are filled with true and wonderful words of wisdom. She is a very interesting woman and so are her books. I bought all my daughters and granddaughters this book. It is a wonderful gift to people you care so deeply about. They throughly enjoyed it. It is a great gift even if not for a daughter. |

Letter to my daughter-Monica Wilson of Tidewater, VA |

In a style thay is uniquely Dr. Angelou, she crafts an autobiography chocked with wisdom, inspiratiom, and humor. This, I believe, is her 6th autobiography-who else can write that many stories about their lives with such eloquence. At times I laughed heartily and other times I moved almost to tears. Currently I am working on my doctorate and I was able to cite some of Dr. Angelou's commentary. How powerful is that?! |
