Gather Together in My Name

Outstanding! Austere but encouraging view into Ms. Angelou's life. Her triumphs, her triumphs. Oftentimes, we see the finished product. This novel shows you the journey.

This is a beautifully written memoir by Dr. Maya Angelou. It is both inspirational and a cautionary tale. I'd recommend to any young women coming of age and going through life transitions.

The main lesson I took from this book is to never trust a man. I am excited to read the third book and see what her next adventure brings

My wife is a big fan of Maya Angelou so I got the series for her. She told that me just as with the first in the series, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," she found Maya's life story fascinating, thoroughly enjoyed this book, and could barely put it down.

I love this book by Maya Angelou one of my favorites

Very good 👍

I have all of Maya Angelou’s books! They fill my heart with happiness and joy! She is a woman I respect and adore for sharing her stories with the world.

I sincerely enjoyed this book. For another human being to be able to express real tangible human emotions through words, is quite simply, moving. I was genuinely moved by this book and its realism. Raw human emotion. A must read for anyone looking to lift up their spirits, and learn about the human condition. Dr. Maya Angelou, if you ever read this, thank you for the beauty of your words.

Maya Angelou is not just a fascinating woman and civil rights defender, her books are also very important to understand racism. I read all her books within three months and I would recommend them to everyone.

I read the first volume of the autobiography and I was impressed but the second one, this one, is even better. Rita is struggling to survive in a very difficult world, she makes mistakes, she resurrect, she goes down again, she meets a lot of nasty people and a few good ones. I look forward to go on with the incredible story of her life. And she is only 19!

I love Maya Angelou’s writing, I read her first autobiography and then bought the rest of them. This is her 2nd one and it covers her alter teenage years. It really reads like it’s a whole lifetime due to all the things she went through. In 3 years she went through so much and so young, I found it so sad that she was going through some awful stuff when she was just so young. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Num estilo fluente Maya Angelou narra suas memórias carregadas de humanidade, sabedoria e humor, no Sul dos Estados Unidos, numa época de perseguicão aos negros. Uma vez comecado não dá pra largar o livro. Muito bom.

I read the first instalment of Maya Angelou's story and of course wanted to continue the journey. This book is the second part of the story (with a few more novels to finish). I enjoyed the story but as I read the book overnight I felt cheated by the price. I definitely was not a story in itself but part b of one and could have easily been added to the first section. As it is, I may need to purchase several novels just to read one story.
