So, the book starts off with this woman by the name of Janie walking home at night in overalls. All of her neighbors gossip about how her latest husband, Tea Cake, took all her money and ran off with a young girl which is not true according to Ms. Clemons. She was burying Tea Cake but how did he die? Was that in the book? So, Pheoby, Janie's friend, takes Janie supper and they get engaged in a conversation and Janie recalls her childhood. How she would go under a pear tree and think. How her granny would serve as her mother and father. How she kissed a boy named Johnny Taylor and how her granny got mad. How her granny wanted her to marry Logan Killicks. Well, Janie did and she doesn't feel any love for him. She is regretting that move I'd imagine. She must of cared about making her granny happy to marry to another that she didn't love. How unfortunate.
The Black Eyed Peas must have been thinking about Janie's first marriage when writing this song because Janie's love for Logan was definetly not there. It had her granny wondering, "Where is the love?"
Janie's backside was described as it seeming as if she had grapefruits in each back pocket.
