The desires and fears of the American black woman are explored with compassion and understanding in these thirteen short stories.

Admirers of The Color Purple will find in these stories more evidence of Walker's power to depict black women-women who vary greatly in background yet are bound together. Dating back to the early 1970s and 1980s, respectively, these short stories cover the Pulitzer Prize winner's usual ground.
