My mother-in-law gave me a cookbook written by Maya Angelou last year, "Hallelujah! The Welcome Table". Not only is it filled with recipes, she has stories surrounding the recipes; social engagements where she first tasted them, her own cooking experiences, or her family's culinary heritage. The stories are marvelous and magical. The recipes are an added bonus. I have made a few of them and we like them very much. My favorite for now is 'Suffocated Chicken'.
My favorite story is called, "Independence Forever". If there is a better story about American entrepreneurialship, a brilliant woman, and tenacity please, someone let me know.

I love inspirational anecdotes about people who took a risk and stepped out to use their talents, gifts, and abilities! It's encouraging for other dreamers. :)
