The Color Purple (Used)

Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel follows Celie, a poor Black girl in early-20th-century Georgia who survives abuse from her stepfather and an unhappy marriage. Through her bond with the blues singer Shug Avery and letters from her long-separated sister Nettie (a missionary in Africa), Celie gradually finds her voice, independence and self-worth. The novel closes with Celie's reunion with Nettie and the children taken from her at birth.
