White Meriwether Bye the great grandson of Aaron Bye met Black Peter Bye in France during WWII. He told him his penitence of his family involvement in slavery. He admitted without the free labor of the slaves the white Bye's could not have become wealthy for Aaron's Bye father was just a poor farmer, a Quaker, running away from England to escape religious persecution. This eased Perter's long resentment.

They were brave fellows, conducting themselves as became soldiers, persistently cheerful in the face of the hateful prejudice that followed and flayed them in the very act of laying down their lives for their country.

Now that she had no strength, now that life stretches around her a dreary procession of sullen, useless days, she realized the beauty inherent in life itself, the miracle of health and sane nerves, of the ability to make a living, of being helpful to to others.

"Of course they think I'm white. There are a lot of young men in the office and I flirt with them outrageously. At first I did it only to annoy mother, she hated it so. You know, the funny thing is she doesn't like white people any better than I do-she just didn't want me to marry a dark man because, she says, in this country a white skin is such an asset. "

The societal pressure for wealthy Black people is ridiculous or maybe Joanna is overbroad with owing success. Her egotism of not letting her race be an issue is blinding her to the facts.
Peter marrying Maggie Neal on the rebound because Joanna does not love him is sad. They are going to make each miserable or live a very tense marriage with regret.
I am enjoying this book. A good read.
