Celie, at age 14, was raped by a man who was said to be her biological father. He turned out to be her stepfather. She bore two children by her stepfather. Her stepfather, Alfonso, took her first child and killed it in the woods while Celie was sleeping. He did not kill the second child, but he gave it to a married couple. He then beat her because he thought he saw her wink at a boy in church when she really had something in her eye. He beat her again because he thought she was dressed "trampy".
