Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A moving memoir about the legendary author’s relationship with her own mother.

Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick!

The story of Maya Angelou’s extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple bestselling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother.

For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence—a presence absent during much of Angelou’s early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call “Lady,” revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them.

Delving into one of her life’s most rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships, Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fostered Maya Angelou’s rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights.

Praise for Mom & Me & Mom

“Mom & Me & Mom is delivered with Angelou’s trademark good humor and fierce optimism. If any resentments linger between these lines, if lives are partially revealed without all the bitter details exposed, well, that is part of Angelou’s forgiving design. As an account of reconciliation, this little book is just revealing enough, and pretty irresistible.”—The Washington Post

“Moving . . . a remarkable portrait of two courageous souls.”—People

“[The] latest, and most potent, of her serial autobiographies . . . [a] tough-minded, tenderhearted addition to Angelou’s spectacular canon.”—Elle

“Mesmerizing . . . Angelou has a way with words that can still dazzle us, and with her mother as a subject, Angelou has a near-perfect muse and mystery woman.”—Essence

It was okay. This is my first time reading one of her books. It was interesting..but did not love the writing style.

Astounding. I didn't expect anything less. This book engaged you from beginning to end. I couldn't put it down.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Yet another beautifully written book by this wonderful woman! Maya has a way with the written word that provokes thought and emotion.

Mom and Me & Mom. Delightful , engaging and typical of the descriptive style of this phenomenal woman!!

I couldn't put it down!!. I've had such love, respect & admiration for Ms. Angelou for years & now I have love, respect & admiration for her Mother! 😊

Love it. Great book! Love Maya Angelou so much to be learned from this story

Mom & Me & Mom. This book was good for my soul, right here at this time, right now. It went through Maya's relationship with her her mom very thoroughly. She touched every area in a beautiful and unpretentious manner. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and found myself waking up at four in the morning just to read without any disturbance so I could go back in time and be in the moment. A lovely tribute which made me want to stand tall and be a better person. Thank you Ms Angelou!

Thank you!. This book is absolutely wonderful! The love portrayed by a mother, as a mother, and for a mother has inspired me in so many ways. Thank you Maya Angelou for helping me to see and understand how a mother truly loves!

Great. I loved this book. I laughed and cried while I was reading it. Maya Angelou is such an amazing women and writer. This book touched my heart.

Simply Wonderful.. There are no words suitable to describe her writing. This book is a treasure. God Bless Her.

Somewhat Disappointing. After reading "I know Why the Caged Bird Sings" I was really looking forward to this book. I thought it would be a further insight into the life she beautifully described in Caged Bird. If I had not read Caged Bird, I don't think I would have any feel for the major people in her life and about whom the book was about. Maya's mother was described through lines of what was to be interpreted as wisdom, which had no real appeal to me, and it left me feeling that there was a distance between Maya and her mother created by an unnerving respect, rather than a Mother/Daughter affection. I also thought it was over priced. I would not recommend this book.

A must read. Excellent easy read that highlights the struggle of an American legend and the unconditional love and bond of a mother and daughter. This book has allowed me to discover a new found respect for beloved Dr. Maya Angelou. Her willingness to be candid about her life is profound. Her humility to share is priceless. This book will surely bring insight and the true meaning of love to it's readers.

Mom & me & mom. Excellent tribute to her mother

Great. I thought this book was great' it shows that all things might not start off all good with the family but it has a great ending and I also believe that all young girls should read this, you are incredibly talents and bless

Mother & Me by Maya Angelou. I loved loved loved this book and I fell in love with Maya's mother too! My only problem with the book is that it ended too quickly. DMc

Refreshing!. This is a refreshing book! I never wanted to put the book down! Maya Angelou is such an inspiration! The more that I learn about her life, the more impressed that I am. She's truly a phenomenal woman!

Excellent Read. This autobiography flies by - Maya Angelou's prose are engrossing. You feel you are with her every step.
