At dinnertime, Shug announces that she is leaving Mr. _____'s house, and she is going to live in Memphis. However, she’s not going by herself. She’s taking Celie and Squeak. After this news, Celie and Mr. _____ get into an all-out yelling match. Mr. _____ can’t believe she’s leaving him, but he can’t do anything in his power to make her stay. When they get to Shug’s house in Memphis, Celie needs something to do, so she starts sewing pants. Pretty soon, she starts to make a lot of pants, and she has a lot left over, so she makes a business. She’s got orders coming in, and this is how Celie earns her living. Sofia’s mother dies, and when Shug and Celie go back to the funeral, Celie sees Mr. _____ for the first time since she left him. Harpo tells her that Mr. _____ was a complete wreck after she left. He got even meaner and bitterer than he was. After he sent Celie the letters he’d been keeping from Nettie, though, he got better. Meanwhile, in Africa, Nettie ends up marrying Samuel, the reverend. Nettie and Celie’s stepdad, who they always believed to be their real dad, died. When he did, Nettie and Celie inherited his house. In a letter to Celie, Nettie says that Tashi ran away. Adam, Celie’s son, ran after her to find her because he’s in love with her. Two and a half months later, Adam and Tashi returned, and announced that they were going to be married. At the end of the book, Nettie, Adam, Olivia, and Samuel all come home. They’re finally all together, and Celie feels the youngest she’s ever felt.
