I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is a coming-of-age story that chronicles Maya Angelou's childhood and adolescence as she grew up in the rural South during the 1930s. The memoir follows Maya (also called Marguerite) and her brother Bailey as they are sent to live with their grandmother after their parents' divorce. Maya faces racism, abuse, and hardship, but also experiences joy through her love of reading and her time spent with family and friends. The memoir shares her traumas and triumphs as she comes to terms with both the oppression and opportunities life offers a young black girl during a tumultuous time in America.
