Possessing the Secret of Joy (The Color Purple Collection Book 3)

An American woman struggles with the genital mutilation she endured as a child in Africa in a New York Times bestseller â€œas compelling as The Color Purpleâ€ (San Francisco Chronicle).

In Tashiâ€™s tribe, the Olinka, young girls undergoÂ female genital mutilation as an initiation into the community. Tashi manages to avoid this fate at first, but when pressed by tribal leaders, she submits. Years later, married and living in America as Evelyn Johnson, Tashiâ€™s inner pain emerges. As she questions why such a terrifying, disfiguring sacrifice was required, she sorts through the many levels of subjugation with which sheâ€™s been burdened over the years.

In Possessing the Secret of Joy, Alice Walker exposes the abhorrent practice of female genital mutilation in an unforgettable, moving novel.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the authorâ€™s personal collection.

Possessing the Secret of Joy is the 3rd book in the Color Purple Collection, which also includes The Color Purple and The Temple of My Familiar.
