She lost her father at a young age causing her to be more strong and dependent on God. The Lord never gave her blue eyes because He knew she would be a missionary in a land filled with brown eyed people. She was more effective and more approachable to the people she ministered to because of her dark eye color. Amy 's short time in Japan prepared her for her ministry in India.

It is evidenced by Celie as she struggles to survive and to define oneself apart from the controlling, manipulative, and abusive men in her life.
