In this book, Rebecca Leventhal Walker attempts to define herself as a soul instead of a symbol-and offers a new look at the challenge of personal identity, in a story at once strikingly unique and truly universal. But after her parents divorced, leaving her a lonely only child ferrying between two worlds that only seemed to grow further apart, Rebecca was no longer sure what she represented. Some saw this unusual copper-colored girl as an outrage or an oddity others viewed her as a symbol of harmony, a triumph of love over hate. The Civil Rights movement brought author Alice Walker and lawyer Mel Leventhal together, and in 1969 their daughter, Rebecca, was born.
