What is the plot of the book The Color Purple?

The Color Purple tells the story of Celie, a black woman who has never been happy. The book is written in forms of Celie's letters to God, acting as some sort of diary. At first we know about Celie's childhood, we get to know her father, who raped her and had two sons with her, but supposedly killed them in the woods. We get to know Nettie, Celie's sister, who is always protected by Celie. After some years Celie is given in marriage to Mr. ____. He is in love with another woman called Shug, who used to be a singer, but is said to be a w***re. Celie is constantly being abused by her husband and eventually loses contact with her sister. After some time Shug comes to Celie's house to stay with her and her husband. At first they become enemies but then they become really close friends, and Shug changes Celie's point of view of life and religion. They even get to the point of sexual intercourse, and we see that this is the first time that Celie is happy in her life. After some months Shug presents to Celie some letters from Nettie that Mr.___ was hiding. We get to know Nettie's fate as a missionary in Africa. We also get to know that Nettie was with a couple of other missionaries that had adopted Celie's babies. Inspired by Shug, Celie leaves Mr. ____ and gets her own place, in which she starts a business of pants for women. After many events where Celie lost her faith in life once again she meets with Nettie and her two kids, Celie is now an old woman, but ends up thanking everything and everyone for this last chance to be happy
