What can I say about Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" that has not yet already been said? This story is a moving, realistic portrayal of one black woman's quest to gain recognition, equality, and understanding amidst heartbreaking setbacks and obstacles, including sexual and physical abuse, all set in a disgustingly-segregated America. Atmospheric, emotional, spiritual, and moving, this novel (and the incredible movie version) are stories sinful to miss. Read it today!
