beginning at age 14 when she is being abused and raped by her father and attempting
to protect her sister from the same fate, and continuing over the course of her
marriage to "Mister," a brutal man who terrorizes her. Celie eventually learns that
her abusive husband has been keeping her sister's letters from her and the rage she
feels, combined with an example of love and independence provided by her close friend
Shug, pushes her finally toward an awakening of her creative and loving self.
