About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Maya Angelou shares her path to living well and with meaning in this absorbing book of personal essays. Dedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to My Daughter transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight. Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son. Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a "lifelong endeavor," or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice-Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family. Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches; it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share. "I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native Americans and Aleut. You are fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered, and I am speaking to you all. Here is my offering to you."--from Letter to My Daughter

  • Title was Right On! Perfect for all daughters -any age!

    Ms. Angelou has a way of making one a part of her books. I enjoyed each chapter and our daughter has thanked me over and over for this gift. We are also giving the same book to our daughter in-law at Christmas. Our young people need to hear that they can overcome obstacles. There will be brighter days ahead if they just keep the Faith. Her book makes that very clear. Have recommended to friends for their daughters as well. I liked the short chapters as well. Just enough to get the message! I decided to buy this book because of the title and because of the author.

  • An Inspirational Journey

    When "Letter to my Daughter" by Maya Angelou came out, I remembered thinking how much I love her as a person and how much I would probably enjoy the book. I recently purchased it and loved it. For me personally, I found it really short. It only took me two days to finish it. Each chapter was 2-5 pages long. Although it was too short for me, every sentence written gave me a sence of ispiration. I was able to see the world from a different point of view. A very enjoyable book, I would recomend anyone to read it sometime.
