Alice Walker: A Life by Evelyn C. White

5.0

Thoroughly enjoyed this book that traces her intellectual development from her childhood in Georgia to her writing the Color Purple. Walker's work as a writer is known, but maybe few of us were aware of her work as an editor in college and in her early adult life. The author also points our Walker's love in beauty in nature but also in her home. Despite being poor, Alice would place a vase of wildflowers on her desk. I think this simply act is testament to Alice's quiet yet indomitable spirit.
