Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like ChristmasSingin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas

Here Maya Angelou, dazzling entertainer, casts the spotlight on her show business career -- a pageant of international scope. Maya, the woman, shares her sad, failed marriage to a white man, her early motherhood and achingly sensitive relationship with her young son, and her bone-deep, painful suspicion of the white world that welcomes her talent so dramatically ... Honest, funny and heartwarming... The strenth o the book is Angelou's lyrical writing... a God-given gift. -- The Washington Star. The buoyant, gifted Maya Angelou continues her autobiography... both her joy and her despair have twice as much impact as most people's. -- New York Magazine.
