This is Maya Angelou's third book of her autobiography series; Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas.. Whoa, now that's some seriously long title. And now we get to know how Marguerite Johnson became Maya Angelou. This book is weighed down by all her trips with Porgy and Bess and the budding fame that she'd earned. Still, I enjoyed each situation she'd got herself into.

Despite being a parent already and her relationships history, I quite think that she was still a child then, but now she's finally maturing into true parenthood and womanhood. As the Singin' and Swingin' title suggests, she makes her debut as a professional singer and dancer which suits her pretty well. She's simply an integral artist by nature. Her hardworking personality is inspiring beyond limits.
