Mom & Me & Mom
Mom & Me & Mom is the seventh and final volume in Maya Angelou's series of autobiographies, focused on her relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter. Angelou writes about being sent away as a young child and the anger she carried over that early separation, then traces how she and her mother slowly built a bond as adults. She portrays Vivian as a fierce, loving, and sometimes difficult woman who became a steady source of strength as Angelou faced hardship, motherhood, and her growth as a writer. The memoir is warm and honest about both the wounds and the repair between them. Published in 2013, the year before Angelou's death, it offers a tender close to her life story and a tribute to the mother who shaped her.
