Gathering Blossoms Under Fire: The Journals of Alice Walker, 1965–2000
by Alice Walker
Description
Spanning thirty-five years, this collection of journals follows a writer’s personal and creative journey through the civil rights era, the women’s movement, motherhood, love, activism, and spiritual discovery. The entries offer an intimate view of the experiences and convictions that shaped a major literary voice, while also capturing the challenges of sustaining artistic purpose amid social and political upheaval. Candid, searching, and often lyrical, the journals reveal the connections between private life and public struggle. Together, they form a moving portrait of resilience, self-examination, and the ongoing work of gathering beauty in difficult times.
