The oral traditions of African people create a living matrix, an organic web of interconnections between past and present, allowing an immediacy of experience even of events long past. In The Colors of Love, Alan Inman explores golden nuggets of family wisdom passed down from the giants of history and from great men and women of the present day. In contemplating how these inspirations and directions have supported and illuminated his life, Alan remembers how love came into and colored his own life, through powerful family relationships. As Alan examines how the strengths and weaknesses of his own family colored his life and shaped his path, he shows us how the wisdom of the ages, the words and stories passed from generation to generation, can provide a solid foundation for a life well-lived, brilliant with all the colors of love.
