Originally published in 1900 under the title Contending Forces: A Romance Illustrative of Negro Life North and South, this re-discovered classic is not simply a sentimental romance of star-crossed lovers, but also a political fiction detailing black life in 19th century America. It tells the story of a beautiful, black heroine who is guilt ridden by some dark secret in her past and who has to overcome her burden before she can lead a normal and fulfilling life.
