I te tihi o ana pūkenga kōrero me ana pūkenga auaha, ka whakaatuhia e Sue Monk Kidd tētahi mahi toi o te tumanako, te maia, te rapu i te herekoretanga, me te hiahia kia whai reo i te ao—ā, koinei te kōwhiringa hou o te Oprah's Book Club 2.0.
Ko Hetty “Handful” Grimke, he pononga tāone i te tīmatanga o te rautau tekau mā iwa o Charleston, e hiahia ana ki te ora i tua atu i ngā taiepa whakamomori e karapoti ana i a ia i roto i te whare whai rawa o Grimke. Kua mōhio te tamahine a Grimke, a Sarah, mai i tōna tamarikitanga he mea nui tana mahi i te ao, engari kua herea ia e ngā here i whakatakotoria ki ngā wāhine.
Ka tīmata te pukapuka whānui a Kidd i te tekau mā tahi o ngā rā whānau o Sarah, i te wā i riro ai i a ia te mana o Handful, tekau tau te pakeke, hei pononga wahine māna. Ka whai tātou i ā rāua haerenga whakamiharo i roto i ngā tau toru tekau mā rima e whai ake nei, i a rāua e whai ana kia whai oranga mō rāua anō, e hanga ana i te mutunga o tētahi ki tētahi, e hanga ana i tētahi whanaungatanga uaua e tohuhia ana e te hara, te whakakeke, te wehenga me ngā ara aroha whakararuraru.
I te whanaketanga o ngā kōrero ki tōna taumata whakahirahira, ka manawanui a Handful ki te mate me te pouri, ka kitea te maia me te whakaaro ki a ia anō i roto i te tukanga. Ka pāngia a Sarah e ngā tumanako kua pakaru, te tinihanga, te aroha kāore i utua, me te peinga i mua i tana wehenga atu i Charleston ki te kimi i tōna tūranga i te taha o tōna teina toa, a Angelina, hei tētahi o ngā paionia tuatahi i roto i ngā kaupapa whakakore me ngā kaupapa tika wāhine.
I whakaaweawetia e te tangata rongonui o Sarah Grimke, ka neke atu a Kidd i te hītori o ngā tuhinga hei whakamārama i ngā oranga whai rawa o roto o ana kiripuaki katoa, ahakoa he mea tūturu, he mea tito noa iho, tae atu ki te whaea mānumanu o Handful, a Charlotte, e rapu ana i te tūpono i roto i tana rapunga i tētahi mea pai ake.
He pukapuka tino ataahua tēnei, he wikitoria o te kōrero pakiwaitara e titiro matatau ana ki tētahi patunga kino i roto i te hītori o Amerika, mā roto i ngā wāhine e kore e waiho e rātou he kaipānui kia kore e nekehia e te wairua o ā rātou pakanga mō te whakaoranga, te whakamana, me te whakapuakitanga.Mai i te kaiwhakaputa.)
