About this book

Maya Angelou recalls a childhood shaped by her brother Bailey, their grandmother's home in Stamps, and the racial prejudice surrounding their community. Family life, church, and the grandmother's store provide the settings for a memoir about growing up and finding a sense of self. Personal memories place childhood embarrassment and longing alongside the pressures of an unequal society.
