reading:
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou, DB24950.
Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother
in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of
abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years
old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man
many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime.
Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the
kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors
(“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be
free instead of imprisoned.
