The story of two sisters in the harsh segregated world of the Deep South in the early twentieth century. Celie has been raped by the man she calls father; her two children are taken away from her; her beloved, younger sister, Nettie, has run away. Celie has no one to talk to but God. Then she meets Shug and discovers not the pain of rivalry but the love and support of women.
