Walker was born in Eatonton, Georgia on February 9, 1965 (“Walker, Alice”). She grew up poor with her mother having to work as a maid to support the family (“Biography”). She started writing when she was eight years old after getting shot in the eye with a bb pellet that left her feeling flawed and insecure.
