UP IN ARMS - TEMPLE OF MY FAMILIAR BY ALICE WALKER

Please join us for another wonderful meeting as we discuss "The Temple of my Familiar." Part love story, part fable, part feminist manifesto, part political statement, Walker's novel follows a cast of interrelated characters, most of them black, and each representing a different ethnic strain--ranging from diverse African tribes to the mixed bloods of Latin America--that contribute to the black experience in America. As each tells of his or her life (and sometimes, previous lives in various reincarnations), Walker relates the damage inflicted on blacks by the oppression of slavery in Africa and in the South.

This might have some shocking details, so ladies be prepared!!! This book will definitely spark great conversations amongst the sexes...
