<DIV><DIV><B>&ldquo;A classic novel of both feminism and the Civil Rights movement&rdquo; in 1960s Atlanta by the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning author of <I>The Color Purple</I> (<I>Ms.</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> As she approaches the end of her teen years, Meridian Hill has already married, divorced, and given birth to a son. She&rsquo;s looking for a second chance, and at a small college outside Atlanta, Georgia, in the early 1960s, Meridian discovers the civil rights movement. So fully does the cause guide her life that she&rsquo;s willing to sacrifice virtually anything to help transform the conditions of a people whose subjugation she shares. &#160;</DIV><DIV><BR /><I>Meridian</I> draws from Walker&rsquo;s own experiences working alongside some of the heroes of the civil rights movement, and the novel stands as a shrewd and affecting document of the dissolution of the Jim Crow South.&#160;<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>
