East Valley Book Club March Event

Hi Again!
We have chosen a book that I have been meaning to read for a long time (and apparently just needed a good reason to, like, oh, say a BOOKCLUB MEETING!) Thanks again, Wanda, for getting us back on our literary toes, with "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou.
Here is what Amazon has to say:
In this first of five volumes of autobiography, poet Maya Angelou recounts a youth filled with disappointment, frustration, tragedy, and finally hard-won independence. Sent at a young age to live with her grandmother in Arkansas, Angelou learned a great deal from this exceptional woman and the tightly knit black community there. These very lessons carried her throughout the hardships she endured later in life, including a tragic occurrence while visiting her mother in St. Louis and her formative years spent in California--where an unwanted pregnancy changed her life forever. Marvelously told, with Angelou's "gift for language and observation," this "remarkable autobiography by an equally remarkable black woman from Arkansas captures, indelibly, a world of which most Americans are shamefully ignorant."

I am so excited to read this one, and I hope that our discussion can be just as wonderful!
