“So in the end you can’t even really regret your misfortunes,” explains [Alice] Walker, “because they led you somewhere.”
Laura De Silva from Open Road Integrated Media sent me this uplifting e-mail. Normally, marketing e-mails don’t move me emotionally, but this one did.
Hi Amy,
I hope all is well! I’m writing because today Open Road Integrated Media is releasing three ebooks by Alice Walker. I’ve pasted the full release below―titles include The Color Purple, The Temple of My Familiar, and Possessing the Secret of Joy. We couldn’t be more thrilled.
For the launch, we interviewed Ms. Walker, and I wanted to share with you the short, documentary-quality video we produced―it’s incredibly inspiring. (My favorite quote from the video: “So in the end you can’t even really regret your misfortunes,” explains Walker, “because they led you somewhere.”)

Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, has cut a deal with Open Road Integrated Media to publish eBook editions of some of her most beloved work. Today they released eBook editions of The Color Purple (1982), The Temple of My Familiar (1989) and Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992).
In the video embedded above, Walker talks about her life’s work. According to the Associated Press, eight more books (not-yet-named) will follow on November 22nd.
Here’s more from the article: “The e-books will include author interviews, photographs and personal documents…Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, which originally published The Color Purple and the other works being issued electronically by Open Road, did not immediately return phone and email requests for comment Monday.”
