Ntozake Shange's most beloved book, Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo, is the story of three "colored young ladies," three sisters and their mama from Charleston, SC. Sassafrass, the oldest, is a poet and a weaver like her mother, absent north to school and coping with other music artists in Los Angeles, wanting to weave a life out of her work, her man, her recollections, and her dreams. Cypress, the dancer, leaves home to find new means of moving and easing the contractions of her heart and soul. Indigo, the youngest, is still a child of Charleston - with "an excessive amount of the South in her" - who lives in poetry, can talk to her dolls, and has a great surprise of experiencing the clear magic of the world.
