IT's so nice to find/remember authors that I've missed. I also loved "I know why the caged bird sings," but you're right. It's a very sad, difficult story in places. The only thing that gets me through stuff like that is if the stories are semi-autobiographical; I think that books written for children/youth ought to addressAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466860937596192472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13455938.post-55245408231751073142007-12-05T10:18:00.000-07:002007-12-05T10:18:00.000-07:00It's funny that you mention Mark Twain, I just fin...It's funny that you mention Mark Twain, I just finished rereading Huckleberry Finn last night!
