Industry Reviews
"Just when you think Alice Walker has empathized her way as far as any writer can go--she goes further....Each essay is a gift."
other - Gloria Steinem
"Walker continues to be one of the most incendiary and subversive writers published today."
San Francisco Chronicle - Patricia Holt (04/20/1997)
"Alice Walker is a true warrior. She is a friend to the friendless ones, and an inspiratrice to all whose voices are yet only whispers. Her father taught her that 'it is possible for the word to become mightier than the sword'. She passes the legacy on, with straight aim, sweet compassion, and fury befitting a wise elder."
other - Clarissa Pinkola Estes
"Constantly testing and stretching her readers' imaginations and boundaries, Walker expresses her warmth, her anger, her optimism in this provocative, lively collection."
Faust
"One of the best American writers of today."
Eder
"Thoughtful and searching."
Cooke
"Brilliant, unabashed....Walker wears her heart on her sleeve."
Cooke
