Description

While most biographies of Hurston take a standard approach to revealing the facts and details of her life, this is the first to look at the role spirituality played in her life and letters.

Throughout her fiction, nonfiction, political and social activity, Hurston's spirit shines through, animating all areas of her life.

To ignore it is to paint an incomplete picture of a life that carries on through the works she left behind.

Plant shows here that Hurston's spirituality helped her to endure the challenges in her life, including chronic ill health, personal and professional setbacks, financial difficulties, and other obstacles that might have crushed a less resilient soul.

In revealing this often overlooked area of Hurston's life, Plant offers a more complete biography of this eminent woman of letters.
