Katelyn was a mother of three. She thought she had her life figured out. She thought she had settled. Her energies went into raising her children. Romance? Please. There was no room for that anymore in her life. Least of all with her husband. It just wasn’t working anymore. Something had changed in her life. She was different. But she never expected to feel fully alive, to have all her senses to ignite when she first laid eyes on Hayley. The young college student was gorgeous, and there was something about her that drew Katelyn in. But this was wrong… and more to the point, Katelyn wasn’t a lesbian. So why was it that she felt undeniably attracted to the bubbly Hayley? Why was it that she lay awake at night fantasizing about her? And would happen to Katelyn’s life if she ever let her guard down? Let herself get close? Let herself experience something new… something pleasurable… …just one time?

The Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning novel is now a new, boldly reimagined film from producers Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, starring Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, and Fantasia Barrino. A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters, spanning 20 years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women.
