Mom & Me & Mom

Mom & Me & Mom (2013) is the seventh and final book in author Maya Angelou’s series of autobiographies. The book was published shortly before Mother’s Day and Angelou’s 85th birthday. It focuses, for the first time in her books, on Angelou’s relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter. The book explains Baxter’s behavior, especially Baxter’s abandonment of Angelou and Angelou’s older brother when they were young children, and fills in “what are possibly the final blanks in Angelou’s eventful life”.[1] The book also chronicles Angelou’s reunion and reconciliation with Baxter. Angelou was well-respected as a poet and writer, and was one of the first African-American female writers to openly discuss her life through autobiography.
