The True life tale of unstoppable storycatcher Zora Neale Hurston

Zora loved to hear the tales of the townfolk, passersby and kin. Zora's neighbors called Zora's stories lies but Zora's mama encouraged her to keep at it. Mama said "Jump at the sun, you might not reach it, but at least you are off the ground."

Mama died. Zora got a mean stepmother who kicked her our of the family home at 14. Zora was determined to be a storyteller and she worked at it.
