About this audiobook
This is a thought-provoking interview with a frank and powerful thinker and writer. Alice Walker reminds us of the importance of invisible forces and connections between worlds that science has not yet acknowledged. She tells how her own life is informed by a host of “ancestors” and characters from her own writing, and how this provides her with strength and a broad perspective on world history and current situations
