Janie marries a man named Logan Killicks because her grandmother believes that she will be secure with him. Logan takes away her sense of feminism when he expects her to do a man's work. Things change when Janie stumbles upon Joe Starks, she leaves Logan runs off with him hoping for a new life. Although Joe buys her luxurious things and she appears content on the outside, but her sense of freedom that she'd hoped have was taken from her when she was expected to cover her hair and work in the town's store every day. After Joe passes away, Janie spends years in isolation and misery but finds her sense of freedom in a man named Tea Cake, he's everything Janie had hoped for in man.
