A Right Worthy Woman (2023)
Ruth P Watson
"A character this richly complex and relentlessly determined deserves a place in the pantheon of great American entrepreneurs . . . Although our complicated racial history runs through this story, the author's skill as a novelist makes Walker's journey as enjoyable as it is inspiriting."
