All God's Children Need Travelling Shoes (Broché)

Maya Angelou's seven volumes of autobiography are testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope and joy, achievement and celebration. In this fifth volume, Maya Angelou emigrates to Ghana only to discover that "you can't go home again" ; but she comes to a new awareness of love and friendship, civil rights and slavery — and the myth of mother Africa.
