    Hardcover Description:

    This new biography takes into account the whole woman?not just the prolific author of such great works as Their Eyes Were Watching God , Moses, Man of the Mountain, Jonah’s Gourd Vine, Mules and Men, as well as essays, folklore, short stories, and poetry?but the philosopher and the spiritual soul, examining how each is reflected in her career, fiction and nonfiction publications, social and political activity, and, ultimately, her death.When we ask what animated the woman who achieved all that she did, we must necessarily probe further. Not one of the other existing biographies discusses or analyzes Hurston’s spirituality in any sustained sense, even though this spirituality played a significant role in her life and works. As author Deborah G. Plant shows, Zora Neale Hurston’s ability to achieve and to endure all she did came from the courage of her convictions?a belief in self that was profoundly centered and anchored in spirituality.
