Average Customer Ratings:
For a world of devoted readers, a much-awaited new volume of absorbing stories and inspirational wisdom from one of our best-loved writers.
Dedicated to the daughter she never had but sees all around her, Letter to My Daughter reveals Maya Angelou’s path to living well and living a life with meaning. Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight.
Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son.
Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a “lifelong endeavor,” or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice–Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family.
Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches; it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share.
“I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native Americans and Aleut. You are fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered, and I am speaking to you all. Here is my offering to you.”

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A letter to my daughter - 
A letter to my Daughter is okay. I was a little disappointed. Maya shares a lot of her life experiences and you can learn some things from her vicariously. She openly tells about life mistakes, mishaps and even times when she was a little paranoid perhaps about other people's intentions. So it's okay. Just not what I was expecting. Clearly not her best work.

Wonderful words of wisdom and insight -
Letter to My Daughter is a collection of 28 essays on life, faith, motherhood, kindness, and what it means to be human. The pieces are short but are wonderful words of wisdom and insight.
I am right with Angelou as she takes on popular culture and our acceptance of obscenity. She calls on us to improve our values to be a people of substance, and to require the same from our elected officials. I found this to be a very thought provoking read.
Not as heavy in the lecturing as some of her books. -
I was disappointed there was not a daughter, but premise is okay.
Interesting background of author-pretty horrible a couple times.
I admire her tenacity, maybe got some of that from her mother. Still,
she was odd. It would have probably have answered questions that arouse
during the reading, if the author explained her mothers behavior more.
A lack of responsibility bothered me a little. The poetry section was
good. Angelou's preachy tendencies were less apparent than in other books.
All in all it was okay.
