Additionally, while looking up information about the book while reading I discovered very recent and bizarre antisemitic comments that Alice Walker has made and I can't recommend reading a book by a living author who is out there recommending David Icke and Alex Jones.

“I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can't apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.”
“I'm pore, I'm black, I may be ugly and can't cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I'm here.”
“I try to teach my heart not to want nothing it can't have.”
“Let him hear me. If [god] ever listened to poor colored women, the world would be a different place.”
“If you was my wife, she say, I'd cover you up with kisses stead of licks, and work hard for you too.”
“Every stitch i sew will be a kiss.”
“I wash her body, it feels like I'm praying. My hands tremble and my breath short.”
