Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Her life story is told in the documentary film And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS's American Masters. Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local "powhitetrash." At eight years old and back at her mother's side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age--and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors ("I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare") will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read."I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity."--James Baldwin

Poor Quality for the Cost !!! Dissatisfied
Disappointed Durability. I love these heels they are very comfortable looks good with just about any color outfit . However, my heart ripped in pieces after 3 months with limited wear they began to lift and fall apart . I’m very dissatisfied with the cost & poor quality slippers I received. I wish I could actually returned it but couldn’t due to the 30 days return policy.

Steve Madden must have
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
You can’t go wrong with any Steve Madden shoe to be honest. These are sexy yet sturdy. Nice thin versatile heel. Strap length is good for any size ankle really

Very Good Item
Size: 8, Color: Gold
I recently purchased these Amazon Essentials gold flip-flops at the start of spring, hoping to find an affordable sandal for everyday wear. After wearing them consistently for a few weeks I’ve gotten a good sense of their overall quality and comfort. One of the biggest positives is their style. The gold color is simple making them easy to dress up or down. I’ve been able to pair them with everything from athletic wear to casual dresses, which makes them a great staple piece. They’re also very lightweight, which is perfect for warmer weather or packing for trips. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. While they are comfortable at first, they don’t provide much arch support, which can make longer walks a bit uncomfortable. After wearing them for extended periods, I noticed some slight soreness in my feet. Softer, more flexible straps from the start would also improve comfort right out of the box. For shoppers, I would recommend these flip-flops if you’re looking for a stylish, budget friendly option for light use rather than something for long distance walking. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase. These flip-flops are a great option for casual wear and offer good value for the price, as long as you know their limitations.

They fit true to size and have excellent traction, making them feel very secure and slip-resistant.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Black White Snake Print
I would buy these sandals in every color. The sole is very sturdy and supportive, not flimsy at all, which makes them super comfortable for all-day wear. The thong strap is soft and doesn’t rub or hurt between my toes like some sandals do. They fit true to size and have excellent traction, making them feel very secure and slip-resistant while walking. Overall, these are stylish, comfortable, and surprisingly well-made for everyday use.

Pleasantly surprised by these nice flip flops
Size: 8 Wide, Color: Dusty Rose
I was pleasantly surprised by these flip flops. I wear an 8 in womens and they fit perfectly. I also have pretty wide feet and ordered a wide size and they fit perfectly that way too. They seem durable, are comfortable and wear nicely but I am disappointed that they already have 2 small spots where the material is wearing already. I will say I wear these a lot, nearly every day for a few hours at least, sometimes more, so maybe that's why they have the 2 spots of wear already. Overall I'm happy with these!
