Rating:  - ~Enlightening Read~
Maya has such an impeccable method of penning and conveying her prose!! This was a wonderful installment in her biographical sequence(s).

Another slice of Maya Angleou's memoir, The Heart of a Woman, brings you through her hardships of raising her son Guy in California and continues during her move to New York City, her stint in the Harlem Writers guild, her intimate involvement in the Civil Rights movement, her marriage to South African Freedom Fighter, Vusumzi Make and subsequent move to Egypt, Ghana and ultimate divorce. A book that will speak to men and women on all levels, The Heart of a Woman is truly a phenomenal read.

Would it be better that she lied and said how ... Read More
