Celie is a young black girl in the early 1900’s. She is just 14 and pregnant for a second time with a product of an incestuous rape. With her mother dead and her father anything but loving and supportive, Celie is bargained off to marry an old widower, becoming the step-mother to four children. She forges an unlikely friendship with her husband’s mistress, and later her daughter-in-law, two relationships that shape her spirit and her life.
