" Ummm..The book is basically her philosophy about life. But, there is no plot or anything, no story, and doesn't really fit with the title. I really don't get it. I liked some of the quotes. The only reason I picked it up was because it was "maya angelou" who was supposed to be a great author. Maybe she is, and I can see that she knows how to use poetic words and metaphors beautifully, but this book just did not work. I'm sorry, I just wouldn't recommend it, unless you are in some sort of philosophy class and discussing chapter by chapter what it "means' "
