ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In "God Help the Child," Toni Morrison delves into the life of Bride, a woman whose striking dark skin has always defined her. The story follows Bride as she navigates a world marked by prejudice and the psychological wounds of her upbringing.

After a tumultuous breakup, Bride embarks on a journey of self-discovery that forces her to confront painful truths about her past and the choices she has made. As Bride confronts Booker, she confesses that she lied during Sofia Huxley's trial to gain her mother's approval. Morrison explores themes of colorism, childhood trauma, and the search for identity in this compelling novel.
