All her life, Zora Neale Hurston dreamed of becoming a successful writer. She traveled throughout the southern United States and Caribbean to collect what she called "lying stories." These tales of African-American culture and folklore became the core of her writing. With easy-to-read simplicity, Patricia and Fredrick McKissack paint a lyrical portrait of this gifted storyteller of the Harlem Renaissance.
