The Same River Twice

by Walker, Alice

The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult is Alice Walker's personal account of the time period during the years of filming The Color Purple.

The book includes journal entries, letters to Spielberg, Danny Glover, and Alice Walker's original screenply for The Color Purple.
