Reviews

[Daniel Kleven]

Written as an "answer" to Thomas Dixon's thoroughy racist The Leopard's Spots, this book was interesting, but the plot was sometimes hard to follow, a little didactic at times, but for what it was trying to accomplish, it's great. One of a few books in the genre "Black Baptist novels."
