Book of the Month
January: The Color Purple by Alice Walker
"Life wasn't easy for Celie. But she knew how to survive, needing little to get by. Then her husband's lover, a flamboyant blues singer, barreled into her world and gave Celie the courage to ask for more—to laugh, to play, and finally—to love."
