From mentor and inspiration to dear friend, Angelou and Winfrey walked through life together sharing the ups and downs as close friends do. Both women had very similar life stories that bonded them together as they triumphed over their hardships. Readers are left impacted by the upbringing of both remarkable women and how they became self-made, advocating, successful African American women. Both women use their platforms to encourage and fight social injustices around the world. A wonderful way to spark interest and encourage further study. 48 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
