I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

 

The novel's events mirror Angelou's own story, following a young black girl named Marguerite as she struggles with sexual assault, her racial identity, the stigma around her existence, and the harsh reality of adulthood.  I liked how insightful and apologetic the book was, along with how it makes Marguerite's experiences as real as my own.
