Mom and Me and Mom reveals the triumphs, struggles, and profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between Maya Angelou and the larger-than-life figure of her mother after a decade of separation.
When her marriage had begun to crumble, Vivian Baxter sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas.
Mom and Me and Mom traces the story of a rich, rewarding, and fraught relationship, and its role in fostering the author's rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights.
