You gotta imagine what's never been

Sue Monk Kidd, the renowned author of novels such as "The Secret Life of Bees" and "The Invention of Wings," is known for her ability to transport readers to worlds they have never imagined. Her writing is filled with vivid imagery, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes that challenge readers to think beyond the confines of their own experiences. One of the recurring themes in Kidd's work is the idea of imagining what has never been.

In her novel "The Invention of Wings," Kidd tells the story of Sarah Grimké, a real-life historical figure who was an abolitionist and women's rights activist in the 19th century. Sarah's journey to find her voice and fight for justice is a powerful example of imagining a world where slavery and oppression are no longer accepted. Through Sarah's story, Kidd encourages readers to imagine a future where equality and freedom are the norm, rather than the exception.
