Their Eyes Were Watching God celebrates a woman's awakening to her own place in the world and learning how to love herself after years of oppression. Having endured abandonment, betrayal, powerlessness, and entrapment, Janie achieves independence.
Her long journey toward self-discovery takes her to a mutually loving relationship with Tea Cake, who shows her love's power to transform.
