I don't quite know how to describe this book . . . Is there such a thing as a lyric retelling of the Judas Goat story? In any case, fascinating.
The author is listed on the cover as Alice Walker, but the ISBN came up with 'John' Walker---???

Novel about a woman (Meridian) who lives through the collapse of the 'old south.' It is an affirmation of the ability of people to work together and create change.
