Maya Angelou
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
₱384

This is one of the most powerful autobiographies I've ever read. It amazes me how someone can revisit all these dark parts of her life and come back to tell this story with such honesty, compassion, and a total lack of jadedness. 

That's what makes Maya Angelou such a remarkable person and writer. In her book, she talks about her struggles with race, sexual abuse, abandonment, and poverty. 

You're there with her the entire time, hoping against hope that this young girl perseveres and makes it through. Spoiler alert: she does! Whether you're already a fan of her work or not is irrelevant, this gem of a book deserves to be read by everyone.
