In The Heart of a Woman, Maya Angelou leaves California with her son, Guy, to move to New York. There she enters the society and world of black artists and writers, reads her work at the Harlem Writers Guild, and begins to take part in the struggle of black Americans for their rightful place in the world. In the meantime, her personal life takes an unexpected turn. She leaves the bail bondsman she was intending to marry after falling in love with a South African freedom fighter, travels with him to London and Cairo, where she discovers new opportunities.

The Heart of a Woman is filled with unforgettable vignettes of such renowned people as Billie Holiday and Malcom X, but perhaps most importantly chronicles the joys and the burdens of a black mother in America and how the son she has cherished so intensely and worked for so devotedly finally grows to be a man.

Great little handbag, especially for the price. Must buy!
Color: Coffee
I am very pleased with this little bag. I wanted to try out a smaller bag to see if I want to invest in a high-end designer bag that is about this size. I still wanted a trial bag that looked kind of posh, but casual. This bag is excellent. The leather is very fine. The hardware is sturdy and of good quality. It just looks like you paid way more for it than you did. I can fit a small bi-fold wallet, my way too big keychain, a lippie, and my eye drops. I think, if I wanted to cram, I could get my Samsung S22 in there as well. But I usually have that out anyway. This isn't a day bag. It is more for running errands when you don't want to be carrying a big, heavy bag around. I think I will get the designer bag. But I'm definitely keeping this one, too.

Supper quality
Looks great. Looks like real leather. Large but doesn’t look it. Holds my small purse/wallet perfectly I can easily take it out of the purse and use the small purse for yoga and other events I don’t need a large purse for. Exactly what I needed. I love it.

I like the look and feel of the bag. It is small and lightweight but it still fits my laptop so it makes going to and from work easy.

Top of bag very narrow
Color: Reddish Brown
Why they would sew the top of this bag making it so narrow to get into or see your stuff is difficult for me to understand. Love the bag, hate they did this. Such a shame, I would have loved to keep this bag as it was the perfect size and the leather was nice. Bummer
