In this book Maya Angelou relives events that have happened in the 80 years of her life, and reveals to you what she has learned from them. Whenever I read Maya Angelou I'm always lost in her words and beautiful poetic flow. I also borrowed the Audiobook from the library and to hear this amazing woman speak of her life lessons in her regal voice made it sink in so much more. She talks on several different items and it's amazing what she has taken from every person she's ever met.I can't talk much more about this book without giving away all the best parts! There is nothing about this book that I can complain about. Angelou never fails to deliver and in this book she delivers a message as well: life is nothing unless you take something away from every situation. Maya Angelou is able to look at every mistake as a lesson and does her best to never regret any of them. This is the beginning and probably my favorite part because even in this book Angelou is always teaching us that no matter what we are all equal and important:
"I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian and Spanish-speaking, Native American 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"
