From recent African immigrants, to a woman who grew up in the mixed-race rainforest communities of South America, to Celie&rsquo;s own granddaughter living in modern-day San Francisco, all must come to understand the brutal stories of their ancestors to come to terms with their own troubled lives. &#160;<BR><BR>As Walker follows these astonishing characters, she weaves a new mythology from old fables and history, a profoundly spiritual explanation for centuries of shared African-American experience.<BR><BR>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div></div>
