THE WAY FORWARD IS WITH A BROKEN HEART

The Way Forward Is with a Broken Heart by Alice Walker - I'm always inspired by Alice Walker's direct and confident writing.  Here's a woman who knows who she is and what she wants although when she doesn't, she's candid in the musing about what is unknown.  These are fictional short stories that honor her marriage and subsequent divorce.  I think also, she wrote these stories to highlight the questions surrounding the attractions of one to another.  It's very much a story about women and for women and for those who love women. People are connected to each other through experience and family and when broken, connections must be explored.  Alice Walker takes on the task with elegance and thoughtfulness.  These are good, pure, excellent stories.  They flow with an honest voice.
