The power this book had over me is indescribable!!

Centers of the self is a compilation of most of my favorite black american women authors, such as Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Dorothy West, Jamaica Kincaid, and numerous others who I never heard of until I read this book. The stories are short but made an indelible impression on me. It is truly an unforgetable anthology, which people have been sleeping on. Do yourself a favor and get it. You'll be more than glad that you did!!!!
