Synopsis
Kate Talkingtree, an African-American feminist writer who has made it big, decides to join an all-female rafting trip down the Colorado. There she has an epiphany, and when she returns home she eschews sex with her lover, eventually signing on for another trip, this one down the Amazon. There she encounters The Grandmother, who helps her see that all life is one, even extraterrestrials. Back home, Kate and her lover find a way to remain together, and to incorporate in their lives the wisdom of the spirit world.

Publisher's Note
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple, Possessing the Secret of Joy, and The Temple of My Familiar now gives us a beautiful new novel that is at once a deeply moving personal story and a powerful spiritual journey.

In Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart, Alice Walker has created a work that ranks among her ?nest achievements: the story of a woman’s spiritual adventure that becomes a passage through time, a quest for self, and a collision with love.

Kate has always been a wanderer. A well-published author, married many times, she has lived a life rich with explorations of the natural world and the human soul. Now, at fifty-seven, she leaves her lover, Yolo, to embark on a new excursion, one that begins on the Colorado River, proceeds through the past, and flows, inexorably, into the future. As Yolo begins his own parallel voyage, Kate encounters celibates and lovers, shamans and snakes, memories of family disaster and marital discord, and emerges at a place where nothing remains but love.

Told with the accessible style and deep feeling that are its author’s hallmarks, Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart is Alice Walker’s most surprising achievement.
