From National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker and edited by critic and writer Valerie Boyd, comes an unprecedented compilation of Walker's fifty years of journals drawing an intimate portrait of her development over five decades as an artist, human rights and women's activist, and intellectual. For the first time, the edited journals of Alice Walker are gathered together to reflect the complex, passionate, talented, and acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winner of The Color Purple. She intimately explores her thoughts and feelings as a woman, a writer, an African-American, a wife, a daughter, a mother, a lover, a sister, a friend, a citizen of the world. In an unvarnished and singular voice, she explores an astonishing array of events: marching in Mississippi with other foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King, Jr.; her marriage to a Jewish lawyer, defying laws that barred interracial marriage in the 1960s South; an early miscarriage; writing her first novel; the trials and triumphs of the Women's Movement; erotic encounters and enduring relationships; the ancestral visits that led her to write The Color Purple; winning the Pulitzer Prize; being admired and maligned, sometimes in equal measure, for her work and her activism; and burying her mother. A powerful blend of Walker's personal life with political events, this revealing collection offers rare insight into a literary legend.

When Interpol agent Marian Stone visited a small monastery in rural France trying to uncover the disappearance of over a hundred men, both she and the man she was seeking, John Walker, knew more than what they were telling each other and after setting out on a journey to find the missing group that leads them to Tibet, they discover that the truth they seek becomes much more than either had envisioned.Over a hundred men from around the world have vanished from a monastery in Tibet, including American billionaire James W. Howard and former Benedictine monk Josue Benoit. Interpol has one of their best agents, Marian Stone, on the case. So far her best lead seems to be John Walker, a mysterious young man living in a monastery in France and also a friend of Benoit. These strange circumstances wrapped in mysteries of energy, light, and the intrigue of international conflicts set the characters on a journey to revisit their lives and their beliefs-a journey that leads them to reveal their secrets, uncover mysteries, and answer the big questions in life. Dream Walker is a short novel written as a mystery provoking interest in our search for a place in this world and a deeper meaning to our lives. The story delves into an interesting and semi sci-fi approach of the metaphysical presented in a very intriguing manner. It is a fresh topic that blends religion and science in an approach not typically undertaken in popular culture. It also touches on current international conflicts very creatively. Overall it conveys a great story with fascinating concepts, evolving characters, a strong plot, and suspense developing throughout.
