NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A moving memoir about the legendary author's relationship with her own mother.

Emma Watson's Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick

The story of Maya Angelou's extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple bestselling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother.

For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence--a presence absent during much of Angelou's early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call "Lady," revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them.

Delving into one of her life's most rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships, Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fostered Maya Angelou's rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights.

Praise for Mom & Me & Mom

"Mom & Me & Mom is delivered with Angelou's trademark good humor and fierce optimism. If any resentments linger between these lines, if lives are partially revealed without all the bitter details exposed, well, that is part of Angelou's forgiving design. As an account of reconciliation, this little book is just revealing enough, and pretty irresistible."--The Washington Post

"Moving . . . a remarkable portrait of two courageous souls."--People

" The] latest, and most potent, of her serial autobiographies . . . a] tough-minded, tenderhearted addition to Angelou's spectacular canon."--Elle

"Mesmerizing . . . Angelou has a way with words that can still dazzle us, and with her mother as a subject, Angelou has a near-perfect muse and mystery woman."--Essence

Better yet imporbable than the original LaRoo Ball
I owned the LaRoo v1 (old version of this ball) my 100lb lab loved it. It was the first light up toy to resist the strength of this jaw. It glowed bright enough and stayed on long enough to be fun for the dog in the darkest settings. Unfortunately I was stress testing it and he was able to unscrew it at some point and destroy the ball. Supervised it was great. Onto this new one. It glows brighter for longer, great improvement on the original red one. My issue comes with the cap. They changed it from a threaded screw on cap to a bayonet mount (push in turn 1/16 of a turn its locked) the issue is that the bayonet plug was a few mm too short in tolerance and slipped out on our first play session. Its not nearly as secure as it once was. That being said a couple rounds of electrical tape around the perimeter of the plug and it now fits securely in the slot and is safe for puppy. This is a hard ball comparable to a baseball in size and softness. It doesn't make noise. The dog LOVES it. Its his favorite toy. If your dog plays fetch they will love this toy.

Not practical
I really wanted to like this ball, but it didn’t work well for us. The rubber is very hard and heavy, which made it difficult for my dog to catch it in the air and it was less enjoyable to play with overall. After only a short time, the plastic lid got stuck, and now I’m unable to open it to recharge the ball. The light feature is a nice idea, but between the hardness of the ball and the charging issue, it just wasn’t practical. Disappointing quality for the price.

Perfect night-play companion
This ball is a total lifesaver for our evening routine. It’s perfectly suited for nighttime, the glow is so bright and consistent. My pup used to get so disappointed when the sun went down because it meant we had to stop playing ball. Now, the fun doesn't have to end! He never has to feel let down by the dark again. Seeing his face light up (literally!) is the best part.

This Ball Was Awesome........ ! (NOT FOR CHEWERS)!
My young Labs are not heavy chewers but they LOVE their ball time! They loved this ball and it was soon the new favorite. It was bouncy, solid and good fun to throw and fetch. It was the same size as a standard tennis ball, perfect! There is a little light inside which is charged by USB C and makes great ball play time in the dark. However, I just went to charge it and I noticed that the little rubber bit you turn to get the rechargeable light out had been bitten and chewed all around it so I can no longer get the light out. The ball is made of really hard silicone just not around the edges of this part, its plastic and I did not notice. Now I have two very sad puppies who want their ball back. It worked really well for so long and it has only just broken. I do not think they have chewed it that hard either, just from the retrieving it and bringing it back to me. They really loved this ball, the way it glowed it the dark, how high it bounced and the weight of it. Good value for money if your dog has a soft mouth!
