Celie was sexually abused at the age of 14 by her so called father.
She delivered 2 babies - a boy and a girl which was given away by her Pa.
When she turned 20 years old, her Pa married her to Mr ??? in exchange of Nettie.
Mr ??? abused her through out their marriage. Her stepchilden disrespect her.
She have to look after her husband mistress, Shug Avery, a well known singer. But she did with a happy heart.
It turned out to be blessing in disgust as after a while, Celie and Shug fast becoming best friend. Even though Shug having affair with Mr??? aka Albert, Shug told Celie that she will never marry Albert because he is weak. So weak that not only he couldn't stand up for Shug, he couldn't even stand up for himself. She taught Nellie how to be a strong woman.
When they found out the truth about Nettie, Celie was so angry with Mr ???. She think about murdering him. Shug stopped her and told Celie what she's going to do. Shug told Albert her plan which included Celie and despite his protest, he let her go.
Celie's life was getting better and better. She was able to fend for herself for the first time without Shug's help and finally they went their own separate ways.
Meanwhile, after Nettie moved out from their family home, she stay with Celie for a while before she was thrown out by Mr ??? for being stubborn. Her last word to her beloved sister, Celie - Be Strong.
She joined a missionary to Africa. Through out her journey, she wrote to Celie. She wrote explaining what Mr ??? did to her . She wrote about her journey. She wrote about finding the truth about their parents. She wrote about finally meeting Celie's children that were given away. She wrote about her family. She wrote if they will ever meet again. She wrote asking if Celie is still alive or whether Celie did received all her letters. She wrote nevertheless... and hope.
