What does beauty mean to someone who doesn’t have it?

Nobel Prize and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Toni Morrison's is a story of 11- year-old Pecola Breedlove who wants nothing more than to be loved by her family and schoolmates. Instead, she faces constant ridicule and abuse. Blaming her dark skin, she prays for blue eyes, sure that love will follow. With rich language and bold vision, this story examines the standards of beauty, a young girl’s coming of age, and the devastating events she endures.
