Search - Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart

She's not just an author, she's a guru and a friend. Her insight is amazing, and her ability to touch lives is part of what makes her work accessible yet highly intellectual. I respectfully bow to Ms. Walker's artistry and am thankful for yet another novel that is part scripture, part story.

Alice Walker has created a work that ranks among her finest achievements: the story of a woman's spiritual adventure that becomes a passage through time, a quest for self, and a collision with love.

Years ago, I read THE COLOR PURPLE and was deeply impressed. This book, NOW IS THE TIME TO OPEN YOUR HEART, is one of her latest and is wonderful! It's very introspective and thought-provoking! I post it because it's a story I have to share with others! And it will stay with you forever!

Starting a book by Alice Walker reminds me of returning back to my sacred space. No one knows about it, and here I find that precious nectar that feeds the heart. Alice Walker manages to put to words that magical formula that binds the heart and the soul in an eternal dance. In this novel about Kate and Yolo, who are looking for something deeper and more true in themselves and their relationship to their world, I found myself pulled into a journey of mystery that ultimately leads to self-discovery. Yolo and Kate find new ways of being themselves and therefore a new way of being together that leads to a kind of union and marraige ceremony neither had even imagined before.
Thanks, Alice Walker.
