Letter to My Daughter

Best yet ever by Maya Angelou!
This book is for the daughters who have experienced weakness for a man that you know is not good for the soul; for the daughters who find that love for a child is undescribable in that you love them passionately like nothing else in the world no matter what they do; for the daughters that have experienced emotional and physical abuse at the hands of someone that says they "love you" (GET OUT after you have a plan in place); for the daughters that have found her true soulmate (oh what a joy it is).

Read A Letter to My Daughters and buy a copy or 500 for your closest friends at Christmas or birthday.

I enjoyed this book for several reasons. It is a series of short life lessons based on real experiences so you can pick it up and read a few pages at a time. I don't think most of us would look at Maya Angelou today and think she had made poor decisions as a young adult so it is a great reminder that we are all human and that the events in our past shape who we become. I went back and bought a couple more copies to give as Christmas gifts, including one for my own daughter.

I read the reviews here as well as NPR radio and bought the book. It is completely disappointing. I did not find anything inspiring in stories such as the types of 'I drank cockroach with coffee so you better be blessed when you drink a normal one'.

Do not buy it - you wont learn anything from it.

Maya Angelou has written with warmth and wisdom in "Letter to my Daughter" Her works are always a welcome addition in our home.

This book was the first I read on my Kindle. It was a great read with lots of everyday wisdom. I just hate it was such a quick read. I wanted More!
