Nothing I could say would ever give justice to this book. I read the book twice in 2 days. I couldn't put it down! It has such a powerful effect on you and you really begin to care for Celie. She lives a life of pain and suffering starting when she is only 14 and is raped by her step dad repeatedly. She is then married off in exchange for a cow when she is 15 and becomes a mother to more than 7 children. She is repeatedly beaten and abused emotionally throughout her life, but she finally breaks through and starts a new life with her sister and her children.
