The heart of a woman (an outfit post and a book recommendation / Srce žene (odjevna objava i preporuka knjige)
The Heart of a Woman is a memoir by Maya Angelou. The events she describes in this book take place between 1957 and 1962 and in that sense this book is a continuation of her previous memoirs. I do admire her courage when it comes to blending literature with autobiography. It is not an easy task and only a few have really gotten away with it.

DeleteI wish you a wonderful Christmas too!
so nice and cut!
