Sula by Toni Morrison

This is the first book by Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison that I read as a teen, and still my favorite of her works. "An unforgettable portrait of what it means and costs to be a black woman in America." Build your own paperback stack with matching copies of The Bluest Eye & Tar Baby (in my shop as of making this listing) and I'll happily give you a deal on the bundle!

Resistance Through Reading!

I'm a fierce advocate of the right to read. I believe reading is an essential way that people of all ages learn about ideas, identities, and experiences both similar and different from their own, and that we must resist any attempts at censorship.
