What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Product Description
The odyssey of a Black woman in the South in the early 1900s as she discovers in herself a power and becomes a healer.
Review
"We applaud her debut." --
Nikki Giovanni
From the Publisher
Brown's lyrical prose is equal parts sermon, a study in southern black consciousness, and brimming with desire and fragility.
From the Back Cover
What happens when spirit offers you a gift you're not sure you want to accept?
Few women could love as Rebecca Florice did -- with a passion born of another world, an unseen world. Ever since the vision of her youth, the vision that brought healing power to her hands, she knew her gift was to be shared with care and veneration. It was a gift that called for the sacrifice of her marriage, the loss of the only man she would ever love, and the illumination of all the dark, hidden places inside herself. Rebecca Florice had to learn that "love never comes to call without its twin."
Springing from the powerful traditions that produced THE COLOR PURPLE and RESURRECTION, this unforgettable story will haunt your vision of the American South. Linda Beatrice Brown has brought to passionate life a tale brimming with faith and triumph, suffering and survival -- and an extraordinary heroine who will live long in your memory.
