Oppressed by the \u003cstrong\u003eracist structure\u003c\/strong\u003e of Baker County, farmhand Grange Copeland abandons his family and lover to make a living in the North, but returns after undergoing transformative experiences, determined never to associate with white people again. Grange rebuilds his life, becomes a farmer, but must deal with the consequences of his past choices. Written with powerful and precise language, the book addresses \u003cstrong\u003eviolence\u003c\/strong\u003e —racial, social, familial, and against women—but also the human strength capable of \u003cstrong\u003echanging an inhospitable reality\u003c\/strong\u003e through love and action in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFor writer \u003cstrong\u003eJarid Arraes\u003c\/strong\u003e , who wrote the book's blurb, \"Alice Walker is courageous. She addresses deeply sensitive and taboo topics within the Black community itself. She writes with the hunger of someone who needs to tell more than reality: she needs the rawness, the most inflamed and difficult-to-treat wound. This work is, first and foremost, literature for those who are not afraid of the honesty of the mirror, the painful questions, and the grotesque.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"Almost no one has tried to tell us about the early, intimate lives of black people [...].
