Liesl
A valuable read that has deservedly become a classic. Through this collection of letters, Walker relays the lives of several strong, memorable female characters who I enjoyed following and learning about. All of them dealt with so much, especially various forms of violence, but gradually came into their own and discovered lives worth living. Just as informative as a history book about surviving as a Black woman during this time period with an interesting journey of sexual discovery to boot.
