On a farm north of San Francisco, the celebrated writer Alice Walker diligently cares for a flock of chickens. The Chicken Chronicles captures her blossoming relationship with her chickens over the months and years and is an extraordinary document of personal recovery, political commitment, and the joys of relating to animals. Each of Walker's thirty-seven Chronicles addresses her 'girls' directly, sometimes from the intimate proximity of her yard, other times at great distance, from her journeys to Bali, Dharamsala, and Gaza, as a witness and activist for peace and justice.
