Maya Angelou never disappoints when she writes a book. Mom and Me and Mom is a book devoted to her mother Vivian Baxter. When Maya was three she was sent to Stamps Arkansas with her then five year old brother Bailey. she wrote a book "I know why the Caged Bird Sings" describing her ten years there with her grandmother who raised the two children. Maya Angelou knew very little about her mother until she was thirteen and sent to San Francisco to live with her mother. Her Book Mom & Me & Mom describes her life and experiences and her mother's involvement with her life. She also speaks of her beloved son Guy who she had at seventeen years old. this is sort of a "love story" devoted to her mother and how she inspired and encouraged her talented to daughter to reach for the sky and succeed. Maya Angelou went on to make her mother proud. the book ends with her mother's death of lung cancer. at the end of the book Maya tells her mother"you were a terrible mother of small children,but there has never been anyone greater than you as a mother of a young adult"
i found this to be a touching well written book. I enjoyed reading very much.

Review = tell everything that happened in the book. That is a false statement.
