Around her, a heady swirl of passers-by, car horns, kerosene lamps, the stock market falling, fried bananas, tales of her parents` native Grenada. She trudges to public school along snowy sidewalks, & finds she is tongue-tied, legally blind, left behind by her older sisters.

This is Audre Lorde`s story. It is a rapturous, life-affirming tale of independence, love, work, strength, sexuality & change, rich with poetry & fierce emotional power. ...
