Celie never had it easy; with an abusive father who gave her two children, her land owning husband who beats her black and blue, and step-children who do not respect her. The only light in her life was her younger sister Nettie, but after a fight with her husband Mister she was sent away. Thinking that nothing is going right in her life suddenly a new light comes in the form of promiscuous, beer swigging, foul mouthed, and warm-hearted Shug Avery, her husbands mistress. With the help of Shug, Celie becomes more confident in her sexuality, her life, and more importantly in herself. This series is meant to look at the wider aspects of the book that haven’t been portrayed in other media.
