After Baxter helps her through the birth of her son, Angelou goes from calling Baxter "Lady" to "Mom". The first section, entitled "Mom & Me", centers on Angelou's early years, before the age of 17, and her transition from resentment and distrust of her mother to acceptance, support, and love towards her.
Mom & Me & Mom is an overview of Angelou's life and revisits many of the same anecdotes she relates in her previous books. The book also chronicles Angelou's reunion and reconciliation with Baxter. The book explains Baxter's behavior, especially Baxter's abandonment of Angelou and Angelou's older brother when they were young children, and fills in "what are possibly the final blanks in Angelou's eventful life".
It focuses, for the first time in her books, on Angelou's relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter. The book was published shortly before Mother's Day and Angelou's 85th birthday. Mom & Me & Mom (2013) is the seventh and final book in author Maya Angelou's series of autobiographies.
