The story begins in the second and third chapters. Janie as a little girl was raised really well by her grandmother. Her mother left her after she was born and her father was never found. With her grandmother in her old age, she was constantly worrying about Janie, and making sure she would be able to live a good life. She tried over and over to persuade Janie to marry a guy named Logan Killicks, a decent man who could provide her with protection and a good life. Finally, Janie decided to marry him. Her only worry was if she would eventually fall in love with him. So Janie moved in with Mr. Killicks, in his house in the middle of the woods wtih his sixty acres of land. However, less than a year later, Janie had not fallen in love with him. She confronted her grandmother about this. Sadly, dispite the words of her grandmother, Janie came to the conclusion that marriage did not make love. In chapters 3&4, Janie was still living with Mr. Killicks unhappily. She was in her yard one morning when she spotted a stylish dressed man walking in the road. They met and began to talk. His name was Joe Starks from in and through Georgy. He'd been saving up his money to come to the new town he heard of in Florida. They got along and talked real well for the next week when they met up with each other. With the unsatisfying feeling she had from living with Logan, Janie said yes when she was asked to run off with Mr. Starks for the new town. So, they left for Green Cove Springs. **Fontaine 3rd Chapter:** After being married to Killicks for a little over two months, Janie went to her Nanny and started crying about how she didn’t love her husband and how bad her life is. Her Nanny tells her to just give it time and eventually she will begin to love him. So Janie went home and tried for a long time but nothing seemed to be getting better. Soon after she realized that she couldn’t love this man, she also realized that marriage does not make love just spring up like she used to think.

Her Nanny then decided it was time for Janie to get married to the man she was promised to. Janie didn’t like the idea and argued that she wanted to wait until she found true love. Her Nanny said it doesn’t work that way and that she tried as best as she knew how to make Janie’s life better.

He saw what she had to do on the farm and saw that she was unhappy with her present husband. He promised her that if she snuck away with him that she wouldn’t have to work anymore. When Killicks returned home she asked him in bed what he would do if she left him. He was hurt but he played it off and said that no guy would be dumb enough to take her like he did.
