The Color Purple
Haiku Book Review
Pain struck her throughout
Yet the color of peace would
Show her the way home.
"The Color Purple" by Alice Walker has faced book bans since it was first published in 1982. Yet it is a novel based on a woman finding her own self-worth while facing racism and domestic violence all through her life. The book won a Pulitzer Prize and was turned into an Academy Award nominated movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey. The ending still makes me cry. I highly recommend both book and movie if you have not read or seen.
