THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Maya Angelou starts life defeated: She is only seventeen years old, black, a woman and a single mother. Moreover, he has no money and no idea what he wants to do in life. In order to take care of her baby, she works as a cook in bad restaurants, considers enlisting in the army, dances in nightclubs, uses drugs, and even works in a brothel. She often falls in love and dreams that Prince Charming will save her, but the realities of life are completely different. Despite all the obstacles, young Maya never gives in and does not give up searching for herself.

Gather in My Name, which is the first installment of Maya Angelou's autobiographical novels that we published in the Modern Classics series, continues where I Know Why the Caged Bird is Cheeky. The story of a woman discovering the world and herself. Angelou recalls her difficult past with hope, humor and compassion. An inspiring novel for everyone who has ever lost their way. 

“Angelou sincerely tells the story of her bold, reckless, immature young girlhood that does not need embellishment.”
