I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
I listened to this book narrated by Maya herself. There is something so soul grabbing to be told the story of someone's life by that person. It was heartbreaking and amazing.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that everyone nominated to trump's cabinet should be subjected to an extensive FBI probe, as a matter of national security.
