Fourteen year old, Celie is poor, ugly and Black in the Jim Crow era South. She survives a father who rapes her and sells her babies without her consent, only to be married off to an older widower, Albert, to perform the duties of his dead wife. When Celie’s younger sister comes to live with them, she teaches Celie to read and opens her eyes to the world through books. The power of words and the love of the women in her life transform Celie into an unstoppable force.
