The literary tradition begun by Zora Neale Hurston in the 1930s has since flourished and taken new directions with a diverse body of fiction by more contemporary African-American women writers. This book examines the treatment of domestic violence in Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Gayl Jones's Corregidora, Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place and Linden Hills, Alice Walker's The Color Purple, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye and Love, Terry McMillan's Mama and A Day Late and a Dollar Short, and Octavia Butler's Seed to Harvest. These novels have given voice to oppressed and abused women. The aims of this work are threefold: to examine how female African American novelists portray domestic abuse; to outline how literary depictions of domestic violence are responsive to cultural and historical forces; and to explore the literary tradition of novels that deal with domestic abuse within the African American community.

Rights taken, laws changed, choices given: take what they give you and live above in comfort or be confined to prisons. The pecking order allows this blessing for chosen ones as long as you perpetuate the prisons of the mind. Appreciating what is given is mandatory. Needing more is a crime. I guess that makes Jasmine, and those like her, criminal. In spite of it all, Jasmine finds life, love, family and happiness. Risk is worth the fulfillment until the day it is not herself she risks. There is no choice but to send her beloved baby above in the care of his father, her lover; a needed choice that ruptures the life she builds and unknowingly follows the path along tales of old. Rufus, a wolf elder long ago pledged to guide her, becomes protector and confidant in the world below. He walks by her side to rescue those they love. We live in hiding helping those we can. Dare we live life in love? Do we hope for family? Do we hope for battle and freedom?
