I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Ah, another insightful book to add to my list!
The first in a seven-volume series, it is a coming-of-age story that illustrates how strength of character and a love of literature can help overcome racism and trauma.
Nevermind.
Seven-volume series? I wonder what else she could have left to yak about, as her whole life was in the first one, from when she was palling around with a pedo, to when she started her preteen "sex cult", to when she tried to get jobs for which she was unqualified and then tried to claim that it was racist that no one would hire her for them.
The book even had some accidental levity as the book recounts how she was an "exotic dancer", and every printing of the book that I've seen comes with a picture of Maya Angelou.
