The Unsettled Color Purple Eric Thomas’s You Owe You

Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call

explicit text from her husband that she quickly realizes was meant for another woman

like a typical New Yorker

and a literacy worker confesses the gambles she and others have lost through the bluesy singers she admires

and Black students whose names are largely unknown but who left their marks nonetheless
