I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of stories. Nine stories that range from ten to twenty pages each, Walker takes single moments in women's lives that exemplify the behavior of a fully realized self.
Unable to eloquently articulate this meaning in a single word, or more appropriate phrase, it is more than high self esteem, confidence and purpose but being completely comfortable with her mind, body, perspective and decisions to the point where intense discussion or debate is irrelevant.
PBS aired an insightful view into the life of Alice Walker that I highly recommend. Here is the link:

Until next time...
