Bookroo's summary

Janie Crawford, fiercely independent and determined, embarks on a quest for identity in the 1930s South. Through three tumultuous marriages, she seeks love and purpose, challenging societal norms. Will Janie find her true self amidst trials and expectations? This enduring tale of resilience and selfhood explores the depths of love and the courage to defy convention.

From the publisher

Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person – no mean feat for a black woman in the ‘30s. Janie’s quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots.
