Book of the month: A Song Flung Up to Heaven
I could call the story of Maya Angelou’s life ‘uplifting’ but that would do her so little justice. She explains it best in the titles she chose for herself: hers is a story that begins with a caged bird singing and ends in song, free, flung toward the skies.
