I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

As it turns out, Dr. Angelou lived one of the wildest, most challenging, and altogether most interesting lives we've ever seen, and this book only covers her childhood! To say more would be to spoil the episode, so let's dive right in!
