Junebook 26: The Color Purple by Alice Walker

I know that this is a very conflicting book, it was kind of a harsh read, but it portrayed the truth and didn't hold back.

The story is set in the 1930s and follows the life of Celie and her younger sister Nettie. It tells about Celie's struggles and how her father abuses her.

It is violent and rough, so be prepared if you want to read it. It is a classic though, and I was on a classic kick for a while so I read it. I wouldn't recommend it to younger teens though. Definitely should be in high school or older.
