The Life of Maya Angelou by Linda Wagner-Martin
The book is an intimate look at Angelo's life through the eyes of her friend, colleague, and muse Linda Martin. Set on the peaceful shores of Martha's Vineyard, Wagner-Martin shares vivid memories and heartwarming stories, offering a close-up glimpse into the life and creative process of one of modern literature's most beloved and respected writers. From their childhood days in Monticello, Mississippi, to the tumultuous union with her eventual husband, literary agent Charles "CJ" Johnson, and beyond—through family, friendships that grew into family ones, the occasional beat down from the industry, their love affairs, immigration troubles, and, of course, Maya's writing—the two women have shared many intimate moments over the years. Wagner-Martin provides a glimpse into both the spotlighted sides of Angelo, as well as the softer, more vulnerable side of the author, allowing the reader to discover Maya for the first time."
