The Relentless Search for Zora Neale Hurston

Walker and her companion Charlotte were sending each other letters talking about the different finding that they had found dealing with Zora. They went on a search a worked together to piece together information pertaining to Zora. Walker pretends to be Zora's niece in order to gain information from the lady at the funeral home. The lady points her n the direction of where she believes Hurston is buried. They go searching though what seems like a wilderness covered in weeds and flowers and eventually Walker falls into a sink hole which they believe is to be Hurston's grave. They then go and buy her a tombstone and get her name engraved on it and leave to go talk to a friend of Zora's who tells her how she died and where she lived.  After they go and see where they live walker talks about her life and how it pained her to look at such an amazing persons grave and not understand how someone could let it be in such a barren wasteland with no one there to help keep it in decent shape.

The unkowing life of a teenager

There are years for questions and years for answers. The years for Janie have imposed on her childhood. She had to grow up fast and learn even faster. Nanny spoiled her too much and now in her teens as she is married to Logan she doesn't know how to do most of the stuff that he wants her to do. The next few years are going to be tough for Janie. She is still very young and is very inexperienced and is not very familiar with the outside world.  Her dream of being happy and in a loving marriage is now crushed and she has no idea what lies ahead of her as she decides to run away with Mr. Stark  In the next few years of her life it is still going to be all about questions. Shes not going to understand any of it until she grows up and looks back on all the mistakes she has made throughout her life.
