Today I read more of the Color Purple. Celie’s stepfather dies in his sleep. It turns out that Celie and Nettie inherit the house, a bunch of land, and a little store. Celie starts fixing it up and is going to sell pants in the store. Her and her sister Nettie keep writing each other back and forth telling about what is going on in their lives. One day, Shug takes Celie out to eat and tells her she is in love with a nineteen year old man. Celie is hurt and cries. She cannot even speak and her heart is broken. She cannot believe Shug would do that to her after everything they have been through together.
