Editorial Review
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“With a down-home storytelling style that enlivens his already flamboyant subject, Porter treats Zora Neale Hurston’s life as if it were one of her own best stories. Porter’s book captures all the complications and contradictions of Hurston’s character, . . . Porter goes a long way in giving young readers a picture of someone who must have been just as hard to live with as she was irresistible.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
