If you don't know [Maya Angelou] yet, now is as good a time as any to jump in and partake of her bounteous wisdom.
-- Los Angeles Times
Angelou's voice is spellbinding, bubbling with rhythm, vivid with lessons.
-- The Miami Herald
Angelou is a force of nature.
-- Chicago Sun-Times
A sort of wit and wisdom of Angelou, culled from a lifetime of adversity and overcoming.

Maya Angelou is well known for her poetry. It is through her poems that she has gained fame as a writer with a unique way of capturing emotion and situation. In this book Angelou shows how she is just as adept at using prose to capture her thoughts. In this collection of essays she writes her thoughts on everything from the healing powers of a home, to the farce of a museum depicting slavery as comfortable way of life in which Africans could rest in comfort and enjoy their famlies. Angelou's writing is easy to read and process, yet her words are powerful enough to make you do a double take. In one essay she claims to have taken three days to write a two-page essay, yet her thoughts are so clear as to fool the reader into believing them effortless. This book is a definite must for all women, all who have ever felt repressed and anyone with a passion for observing life.
