A well-published author, married many times, she has lived a life rich with explorations of the natural world and the human soul. Now, at fifty-seven, she leaves her lover, Yolo, to embark on a new excursion, one that begins on the Colorado River, proceeds through the past, and flows, inexorably, into the future. As Yolo begins his own parallel voyage, Kate encounters celibates and lovers, shamans and snakes, memories of family disaster and marital discord, and emerges at a place where nothing remains but love. <br><br>Told with the accessible style and deep feeling that are its author&#8217;s hallmarks, <b>Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart</b> is Alice Walker&#8217;s most surprising achievement.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i> 59291 20 4 2004 Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart: A Novel (Walker, Alice) total:360|5:90|4:126|3:92|2:39|1:13| 360 1321 541 59 5 1 false false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Sat Jul 21 11:39:18 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 05 11:55:57 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 09 16:01:56 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 16:02:17 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Mon Aug 25 10:54:19 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 10:54:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 08:04:22 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 08:13:33 -0700 2009
