From the Publisher:
Brown's lyrical prose is equal parts sermon, a study in southern black consciousness, and brimming with desire and fragility.
From the Inside Flap:
What happens when spirit offers you a gift you're not sure you want to accept?
Few women could love as Rebecca Florice did -- with a passion born of another world, an unseen world. Ever since the vision of her youth, the vision that brought healing power to her hands, she knew her gift was to be shared with care and veneration. It was a gift that called for the sacrifice of her marriage, the loss of the only man she would ever love, and the illumination of all the dark, hidden places inside herself. Rebecca Florice had to learn that "love never comes to call without its twin."
Springing from the powerful traditions that produced THE COLOR PURPLE and RESURRECTION, this unforgettable story will haunt your vision of the American South. Linda Beatrice Brown has brought to passionate life a tale brimming with faith and triumph, suffering and survival -- and an extraordinary heroine who will live long in your memory.
