She is one of the greatest writers ever! She has a way with words that makes me want to read more. This is the second of the 5 autobiographies she wrote that captures me, not so much with the story, but with the way it is written. I Know Why a Cage Bird Sings is the best of her books by far, but this is second best on the list. Her descriptions are second to none. I can sense what she senses. I appreciate her insight into the heart of a black woman. Her honesty is refreshing, although disappointing. We have to live with each other. It is better to understand than to judge what people think and feel. It makes me want to have more interaction with a wider range of people to better understand and be understood. I never felt threatened by her or her thoughts, but realized we can never stop trying to welcome diversity.
