"Their Eyes were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston answers the question of what is love.

The Webster's definition of love is "a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness," in Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God", she tries to prove that love is the most important thing in the world. The main character, Janie travels through life trying to find this sacred thing called love, and it …

…with money and land. Joe felt that love will be found when you have dominance and command. However Janie found out that all of these ideas are wrong, there is only one way to have love and that is to be each others equal and to have respect for each other. Hurston argues that without love, money status and power mean nothing, but if you have love, then you have everything you will ever need.
