      abstract = {"For the past several years, on a farm north of San  Francisco, the celebrated writer Alice Walker has  diligently cared for a flock of chickens. Over time, her  blossoming relationship with 'her girls' developed in  unexpected ways, becoming a source of inspiration,  strength, and spiritual discovery. Her flock even helped  Walker connect more profoundly with her own past as a girl  in rural Georgia. The Chicken Chronicles is a record of  this remarkable experience and an extraordinary document of  personal discovery, political commitment, and the joys of  relating to animals. Each of Walker's thirty-eight  chronicles addresses her 'girls' directly, sometimes from  the intimate proximity of her yard, other times at a great  distance--from her journeys to Bali and Dharamsala as a  witness and activist for peace and justice"--Cover, p. 2.},
