This misadventure, his &ldquo;second life,&rdquo; proves a dismal failure that sends him back where he came from to confront his now-grown-up son&rsquo;s disastrous relationships with his own family, including Grange&rsquo;s granddaughter, Ruth Copeland, a child that Grange grows to love. Love becomes the substance of his third and final life. He spends it in devotion to Ruth, teaching and protecting her&mdash;though the cost of doing so is almost more than he can bear.<BR /><BR /> From a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, this is an &ldquo;honest sensitive tale .&#160;.&#160;. leavened by those moments of humor and warmth that have enabled men and women to endure so much tragedy&rdquo; (<I>Chicago Daily News</I>).<BR /> &#160;</DIV><DIV><I>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</I></DIV></DIV>
