Alice Discovers The Real Zora Neale Hurston

Alice Walker goes on a journey to discover her aunt Zora Neale Hurston's grave, while doing so she encounters many of her aunts lost history. Along the route to Zora Neale Hurston's grave Alice discovers that much of her aunt's work was unknown till she reached the town where Hurston had her home. There she spoke to people who knew her aunt enough to describe what she was like. Such people as Mrs. Moseley. While speaking to Mrs. Moseley Alice discovers that she has read Hurston's books but no longer has them because people borrowed them and never returned them. Hurston's novel's were passed along by people that knew her and helped her works get around.
