Prologue I breathed in the pink eraser of my pencil and immediately felt my face frozen as my thoughts was blank. I had no idea what to write about my family history since I had not known my father for years and my mother was very difficult to comprehend.

Most people find her novel The Color Purple quiet awkward and disturbing.
