The audio was read by Maya Angelou herself. Angelou has always been a special wonder to me. She was a professor at a nearby university, and I grew up mesmerized by her. It makes me sad to think this was her last book, that there will be no more gifts like this one. The mother-daughter relationship she experienced was tentative, tender, and complicated. This was only a fraction of her life experience shared, and the distance she traveled in that time, the adversity she and her mother overcame; it was heartening. Vivian Baxter ended up being quite the mother and protector to Maya.

I have always loved Angelou's voice and I really enjoyed listening to her in the audio of Letter to my Daughter. I am adding this one - thanks, Jennifer!
A lovely review, Jennifer ;)) Glad you enjoyed! xox
Amazing review!! And how incredible that this book was narrated by Ms. Angelou!
� your review, Jennifer. Added! :)
Wonderful review, Jennifer!
Beautiful Jennifer!
Jennifer thanks sharing! It is so comforting knowing that even in death we can still share in Dr. Angelou's voice, both literally and figuratively.
Beautiful review Jennifer! So glad to see 5 stars!
Such a wonderful review Jennifer! So glad you enjoyed :)
Fabulous and lovely review, Jennifer. This is the Maya Angelou I wanted to read next, but it might be worth a long drive to listen to this just to hear her narrate it!

I read my first Maya Angelou few weeks ago, and I can't forget her. What a strong woman! I agree with you when you say: it was heartening.
