I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

This classic coming-of-age autobiography shows how inner strength and literature can help overcome racism and trauma.

The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

A book of poetic essays sure to leave the reader thinking. The poems span all kinds of topics, from love to elating and drinking, prayer to housing, laws to clothing. Over nine million copies of this book have been sold in America.
