Back Talk

A LOOK AT A FEW WOMEN'S LIVES AS THEY TALK TO GOD ABOUT THE HAPPENINGS IN THEIR LIVES , THEIR MARRIAGES, THEIR. CHILDREN, THEIR CO-WORKERS, THEIR POLITICS...JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT AFFECTS THEIR LIVES... ANY RESEMBLANCE TO REAL LIFE EVENTS IS PURELY CO-INCIDENTAL. THESE ARE WOMEN FROM EVERY SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND SEEKING ANSWERS TO THEIR MYRIAD OF QUESTIONS ..BUT FEELING ONLY GOD OR PUPA JEESUZ AS SOME CALL HIM CAN REALLY HEAR ABOUT THEIR MESS AND MAKE MIRACLES OUT OF THEM.. THROUGH A SERIES OF LETTERS WRITTEN TO GOD : SOME IN STANDARD ENGLISH AND SOME A MIXTURE, AS WELL AS THOSE IN CREOLE OF THE JAMAICAN PEOPLE. WE GET A RARE GLIMPSE OF HOW WOMEN LIVE AND SURVIVE EVERY DIS-EASE, EVERY STRESS, EVERY BROKEN-NESS AND HOW THEY CELEBRATE EVERYTHING.
