Various forms present the life of the enigmatic Coretta Scott King whose light shone as bright, if not brighter than her husband.

There is a poem introduction at the beginning of each section, the prose to inform with details. It would be good in a classroom, with a discussion. On its own, it would be overwhelming.

Coretta Scott King was not just the wife of the renowned civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She was a strong and determined woman in her own right. She was a pacifist committed to freedom work long before she met Dr. King. After Martin's death, she continued the struggle, preserving his legacy for future generations.

Coretta's Journey promotes discussions on resilience, social justice, standing strong in adversity, fighting for what is right, and the power of one's voice. The book introduces readers to a woman full of courage, determination, and resilience.
