Celie pours out her innermost thoughts in letter form to her sister Nettie (Akousa Busia), but Albert has been hiding the letters Nettie writes back, allowing Celie to assume that Nettie is dead. Finally, Celie finds champions in her daughter-in-law, the take-no-mess Sofia (Oprah Winfrey) and the glamorous Shug Avery (Margaret Avery), a local girl-turned-juke joint singer.
