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---???

From back cover: For the millions of readers who loved The Color Purple--Alice Walker's powerful novel of one woman who risks her heart and her life for the people she loves. As the old rules of southern society collapse, Meridan fights a lonely battle to reaffirm her own humanity--and that of all her people.
