In Love and Trouble: Stories of Black Women » (Reprint)

In her highly praised fiction and her wide-ranging nonfiction, Pulitzer-winning author Alice Walker often concerns herself with various types of violence toward women. Her stories are often painful to read, but she uncovers insights about race, gender and human resilience along the way.

Admirers of The Color Purple will find in these stories more evidence of Walker’s power to depict black women-women who vary greatly in background yet are bound together. “One of the most important, grieving, graceful, and honest writers ever to come into print” (June Jordan).
