Mom & Me & Mom is the seventh book in author Maya Angelou's series of autobiographies. The book was published in 2013, shortly before Mother's Day and Angelou's 85th birthday. It focuses on her relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter. The book explains Baxter's behavior, especially her abandonment of Angelou and Angelou's older brother when they were young children. It also chronicles Angelou's reunion and reconciliation with Baxter. Mom & Me & Mom is an overview of Angelou's life and revisits many of the anecdotes related in her previous books. Angelou was one of the first African American female writers to openly discuss her life through autobiography, upholding the long traditions of African American autobiography but challenging the usual structure of the autobiography by critiquing, changing, and expanding the genre. Like Angelou's previous autobiographies, Mom & Me & Mom received mostly positive reviews. Most reviewers state that Baxter is presented well in the book. Pictures of Angelou, Baxter, and members of their family appear through the book. An audio version, read by Angelou, was released in CD form and as a digital download. (Full article...)
