Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I did not realize for a long time that I was dead."

Industry Reviews
"Walker has pulled off an amazing feat here: She's written a powerful novel about brutal misogyny, and she's made it both horrifying and readable, angry and warmhearted, political and human."
Thorpe

"Walker's remarkable compassion rings on every page, along with the most tender wit and evocative verbal music. A true confrontation with the heart of darkness, this is masterful, honorable, and unforgettable storytelling."
Thorpe

"'Possessing the Secret of Joy offer[s] a loud and clear voice crying out against a heinous practice that has been too long hidden behind millions of silences."
Thorpe
